The Vintage Gyuto

The gyuto is the Japanese interpretation of the Western chef's knife - versatile across meat, fish, and vegetables, capable of push cuts, pull cuts, and fine slicing. At 220mm this is a longer gyuto, well suited to professional prep work and cooks who prefer a blade with reach. Carbon steel at 58 HRC takes an exceptionally sharp edge and develops a natural patina with use - a characteristic prized by cooks who appreciate old-world steel. Fully forged and full tang, this is a blade built to last.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after use - carbon steel will rust if left wet
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing for extended periods
• Expect a natural patina to develop with use - this is normal and protective
• Hone regularly with a honing steel to maintain the edge
• Sharpen with a whetstone as needed
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block
