Sakai City has been producing blades for over 600 years, and makers like Sajiya Isshin represent the continuation of that lineage - knives built for professional use, finished with care, and designed to last. The Gyuto is Japan's interpretation of the Western chef's knife: longer, thinner, and more agile, with a geometry that excels at slicing, dicing, and fine prep work across proteins and vegetables alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sajiya Isshin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180mm\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 Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Knife Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 200mm, this Gyuto sits in a practical mid-length that suits most kitchen tasks without the reach of a longer blade. Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance - ideal for busy kitchens where immediate drying isn't always possible - while still delivering a capable working edge. The single-bevel geometry gives this knife a distinctly Japanese character, favouring precision cuts and clean release. A vintage Sajiya Isshin in original box is a rare and collectible find from Sakai's golden era of professional knife-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry after washing to maintain the blade and handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone - single-bevel geometry requires sharpening on the bevel side only; keep the back flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo honing rod - professional sharpening recommended if unsure\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":55431560855843,"sku":"Sajiya Isshingyuto200","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/0B184A5E-A74A-4FF9-A9F2-EADB813354E3.jpg?v=1787226254","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/sakai-sajiya-isshin-gyuto-knife-200mm-stainless-steel-2162","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
