At 58-60 HRC it is a practical, easy-to-maintain steel that holds a working edge through daily prep and sharpens readily on Japanese water stones. At 240mm this gyuto covers the full length of large proteins and vegetables in fewer strokes - the preferred length for professional cooks and home cooks who want maximum reach. The tall 54mm blade height provides excellent knuckle clearance and makes it a capable slicer through large cuts. The thin 1.3mm spine keeps it agile despite the length.
