Benefits
A seamless all-stainless knife from blade to handle: The blade and handle are finished as one stainless piece with no seam between them. That makes the knife hygienic, resistant to rust and dirt, and easy to wash from the edge right up to the handle end.
An 8A molybdenum stainless blade that keeps a sharp edge: The blade is 8A molybdenum stainless steel, chosen to hold a sharp edge for longer. It cuts meat, fish and vegetables smoothly, and it is a forged, double-bevel 270 mm gyuto built for long slicing strokes.
Easy care with a knife listed as dishwasher compatible: The listing describes this all-stainless knife as dishwasher compatible, and the seamless build lets you clean it fully from edge to handle. We still suggest hand washing, because it is kinder to a fine edge.
A smooth western-style handle with a hammered texture: The Western-style handle is stainless steel with a smooth contour that sits well in the hand, and the photos show a hammered, dimpled texture. The shape gives a steady grip through long sessions of cutting.
A long 270 mm gyuto blade for slicing and carving: The gyuto is the all-round Western-style chef's knife shape, and at 270 mm this one has a long, double-bevel edge. It handles meat, fish and vegetables, and the long blade slices large cuts in one stroke.
A series made for professional and home kitchens alike: The listing places INOX-PRO as a style made for both professional kitchens and everyday home cooking. It pairs durability, function and a clean design, so one knife can serve a restaurant line or a family kitchen.

Who Is This For
The Long-Blade Cook: You want a long, sharp, easy-care chef's knife. A knife with a seam between blade and handle traps dirt, and a dull blade makes every large cut harder, which is not your fault. Our INOX-PRO gyuto gives you a 270 mm double-bevel blade of 8A molybdenum stainless steel and a Western-style stainless handle finished as one seamless piece. It is built for cutting meat, fish and vegetables in professional kitchens and at home, and it is simple to wash. Slice a large roast in one long stroke, then rinse the knife clean.
