Hatsukokoro Hayabusa ATS34 3 Layer Kiritsuke Gyuto 240mm - Dark Maple

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.

ATS34 is a unique, high end Japanese knife steel which is becoming more and more popular. It resembles Blue 2 in its composition yet due to the added chromium content, is more resistant to corrosion than carbon steel. In this aspect it is similar to Chromax or SKD, but has a relatively high hardness of around HRC63, meaning it will hold an edge for an extremely long time.

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.
