Introducing the Yoshihiro Ginsan Steel Gyuto Knife, where traditional knife-making techniques meet modern metallurgy. Crafted from Ginsan steel, this knife showcases a breakthrough in blending high carbon steel with stain-resistant elements. With a hardness rating of 61 on the Rockwell scale, it offers a rare combination of traditional Japanese high carbon performance and stainless steel properties, ensuring exceptional durability and edge retention.

The knife is beautifully complemented by a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Ebony wooden handle, featuring a double Water Buffalo horn bolster for added strength and elegance. A protective wooden sheath, known as a Saya, is included to safeguard the knife and enhance its aesthetic appeal when not in use.

The Gyuto knife is regarded as the most versatile and essential tool in a chef's kitchen. Preparing delicious meals begins with high-quality tools, transforming every dish into something special. Whether you’re dicing, slicing, or chopping fresh produce from a farmer's market or carving a roast chicken, this handcrafted knife elevates even the simplest tasks, combining beauty and functionality seamlessly.

Care & Sharpening: Traditional Japanese knife-making emphasizes maintaining a sharp edge, requiring diligent care. Sharpening and honing should be performed using only water whetstones. To preserve the knife’s integrity, hand wash and dry immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients. It is recommended to use this knife exclusively on boneless flesh of fish for optimal performance and longevity.
