From the Hanoi region of Vietnam, our skilled friend Nguyên has forged a knife unlike any other. This one-of-a-kind blade combines M390 powder steel at its core with stainless steel construction and Damascus cladding, delivering both durability and visual appeal.
Designed for more than just aesthetics, this knife is all about performance. The razor-sharp powder steel core offers exceptional edge retention, while its thin geometry ensures smooth, effortless cuts. Every piece Nguyên crafts is distinct, making this knife not just a tool, but a true piece of craftsmanship.
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.
