An In depth look

Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Steel Type

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Care Information

Introducing

Shigefusa

Shigefusa is perhaps the most famous, revered, and sought-after knife brand in Sanjo. Their knives are made primarily by hand to ensure the highest level of finish and quality is achieved. This results in a very low output each year, with waiting times for these pieces stretching years, especially the Kitaeji.
