Made in Japan, the Tojiro Classic 3-Layer (A-1 series) is the most affordable collection in their entire lineup. Featuring a solid half-tang construction, the blade is crafted with a reputable VG-10 core and 13-chrome cladding. This combination ensures the blade not only maintains a sharp edge due to its high carbon content but also offers excellent rust resistance. With a thinner blade geometry, this series delivers exceptional performance for its price.

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.
