Made in Seki Japan which has a history of 800 Years of blacksmith in making swords, knives and cutlery. The Hamon series is fantastic because of it's low price point, sharp edge, shiny look and quality construction. Made from subv-zero treated Swedish-Stainless Steel, this 185mm Gyuto is perfectly mid-balanced and ideal for ones that need an multi-purpose mid-sized knife.
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.
