The gyuto - literally "beef sword" - is Japan's answer to the Western chef's knife, designed for professional kitchens where speed and precision matter. At 170mm it is nimble enough for detailed work while still handling full-size proteins and produce. 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 with exceptional sharpness.

Care and Maintenance

  • Hand wash only - never dishwasher
  • Dry immediately after washing
  • Apply a light coat of camellia oil after drying to prevent rust
  • Sharpen on a whetstone - carbon steel responds well to regular honing
  • Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife block
