An In Depth Look

Blade Type
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
Steel Type Read

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for a great everyday workhorse knife steel.

Great knife super sharp

This knife is a dream in the kitchen. Had it for a few days and it cut everything like butter. I’ve never had a knife other than my Shun Classics, what a upgrade I will be adding more hand forged to my collection!

Excellence in cutting

This knife is outstanding. It feels great in hand, just the right size and weight and cuts like a razor.
I'm looking forward to preparing the next meal just so I can use it 😀

Perfect in every way

Well priced, extremely good value for money for what you get.

I even find my other half in the kitchen more because she loves cutting with them!

Had this knife for a few weeks now and been using it for work, great so far. Comfortable handling, for me at least. Love the design of it.
