Who Is This For

The Craft-Knife Cook: You want a fine gyuto from a Japanese blade maker, built for steady and careful work at the board. A poorly shaped blade makes precise work slow and tiring, and that is not your fault. Our gyuto gives you a 210 mm blade of VG10 stainless steel and a oak handle. The listing describes the knife in detail, and every figure here comes from it. Choose it when you work with the long, precise reach of a proper gyuto, and you will have the facts you need before you order.
