Made in Japan, the Taiga series is forged from AUS-10 which proves to be a versatile stainless steel, effectively combining hardness for prolonged edge retention with robust corrosion resistance. It strikes a favorable balance, avoiding excessive delicacy or susceptibility to chipping. Consequently, it maintains sharpness over an extended period and requires easy maintenance.
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.
