Forging a blade of this caliber from high-carbon White Steel #2 requires an exceptional level of craftsmanship. The result is a knife that not only delivers top-tier performance but also reflects the artistry of traditional Japanese blacksmithing. The Gyuto, known as the Japanese chef's knife, is the most versatile and essential knife in any kitchen—suited for slicing meat, chopping vegetables, and everything in between.
Whether you're preparing fresh ingredients for a weeknight meal or creating a multi-course dish, this handcrafted Gyuto elevates everyday cooking with its precision and beauty. Add this knife to your collection to experience the perfect balance of form and function.
To maintain its edge, sharpen regularly with whetstones. Hand wash and dry immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid cutting through bone or frozen foods to preserve the fine edge.
This knife may oxidize without proper care — we recommend pairing it with a custom-fit Saya knife cover for added protection.
