Designed for both commercial and residential environments, the antibacterial handle is very easy to clean. Made of elastomer, it is soft, non-slip, easy to grip, and durable. Complementing this handle is a blade made in Japan from Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel, renowned for its durability and rust resistance.

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.
