Proudly made in Japan, this series is a best sellers due to it's price and performance. With a beautiful hammered “Tsuchime” finish, it's known to release food quicker from the blade compared other models. Hon-Warikomi, clad blade made of VG-1 Stainless steel core sandwiched by SUS410 stainless steel, it provides excellent edge retention with a nice look.

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.
