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 Read

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for a great everyday workhorse knife steel.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Amazing!

My first Japanese piece, extremely happy with my purchase. Chefs Edge were fantastic, great communication, fast shipping, super simple easy to deal with.

Perfect knife!

It was absolutely razor sharp knife. Lightweight even if it’s 240mm knife. Thanks chef’s edge, it came also fast and secured with a beautiful delivery box.

Awesome knife

First **** knife

It was really great! It cut like a laser. However, there's a slight wobble in the handle, but it's tolerable. I will definitely buy again.

the favorite knife for those who work in the kitchen

a knife with a samurai soul, which becomes a chef's best friend
