Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Steel Type

VG1 steel is a softer stainless steel used for knives that are getting the rougher treatment. It is renowned for its respectable edge retention and good sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it has high stainless properties. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its toughness and durability, making VG1 steel ideal for crafting knives that can handle a little extra punishment.
