At 160mm it is one of the more compact gyutos available - ideal for cooks who prefer a shorter, more manoeuvrable blade without sacrificing the gyuto's characteristic thin grind and versatility. Fully forged with a full tang, this unbranded example is built to the same standard as named Japanese knives of its era. Carbon steel takes a keener edge than stainless and rewards regular whetstone maintenance.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of camellia oil after drying to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone - carbon steel responds well to regular honing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack or in a knife block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52212678918435,"sku":"CK-V1724212","price":99.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/DB0035DB-3BBF-4040-8454-AA000DAFC448.jpg?v=1783323066","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-japanese-gyuto-knife-160mm-carbon-steel-1690","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
