The Gyuto - Japan's interpretation of the Western chef's knife - was designed to bring Japanese precision and geometry to the full range of kitchen tasks: slicing proteins, breaking down vegetables, and fine prep work that demands a blade with both reach and agility. This vintage 240mm example in high carbon steel is a genuine working knife from an era when these blades were built to last a lifetime of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naozumi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e High Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Timber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully forged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal box:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Knife Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh carbon steel is the choice of serious cooks who prioritise edge performance above all else. It sharpens more easily than stainless, takes a finer edge, and holds it longer under regular use - rewarding the cook who maintains their tools. At 240mm, this Gyuto has the reach for breaking down large proteins and the length for long, sweeping cuts through vegetables, while remaining light and balanced enough for extended prep sessions. A vintage Naozumi Gyuto in high carbon steel is a rare find for the collector or the cook who wants a knife with genuine character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing to prevent rust on the high carbon steel blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe oil to the blade if storing long-term\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a leather strop; sharpen on a whetstone as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a knife roll or protective sleeve - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55431597490467,"sku":"Naozumigyuto240","price":115.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/6B1456AF-A58A-4EAB-B8D2-A214EFF4A48C.jpg?v=1787469786","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/naozumi-gyuto-knife-240mm-high-carbon-steel-2165","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
