For those who want top-tier performance without breaking the bank, this hand-forged model by our friend Nguyên delivers. Featuring a 52100 carbon steel core with carbon steel cladding, it’s designed for the looks and a razor-sharp edge. The Damascus layering adds a striking touch, while the nashiji finish gives it a rugged, traditional look that embodies true craftsmanship.

Beyond aesthetics, this knife is made for serious work in the kitchen. The high-carbon steel core provides excellent edge retention, and its thin geometry ensures smooth, effortless cutting. Whether you’re a home chef or cooking enthusiast, this is a reliable, hardworking knife that offers great value without sacrificing quality.

Gyutos are known as the only knife needed in the kitchen. The blades typically range from 210mm to 270mm in length and are appreciated for their taller heel. Gyuto’s are a great option for most as they have a reasonably flat profile toward the heel for chopping, a belly toward the tip of the blade for rock cutting, and a pointed tip for precision work which is why many chefs prefer a Gyuto over many other models.

While often similar in shape when compared to Western chef knives, Japanese Gyuto’s have a reputation for being lighter and thinner.
