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.\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":52212650311971,"sku":"CK-V172424","price":104.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/1CA79EC4-4395-46F4-9E7C-35642BFF8338.jpg?v=1783322352","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-japanese-gyuto-knife-170mm-carbon-steel-1687","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
