About This Knife

The Gyuto (literally "beef sword") is Japan's answer to the Western chef's knife - a curved, pointed blade designed for rocking cuts, slicing, and general-purpose prep. This unbranded vintage example is fully forged and full tang, indicating quality construction. High carbon steel at 58 HRC takes a keen edge and is easy to sharpen on whetstones. A solid everyday performer with genuine Japanese heritage.

Care and 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 long-term
  • Hone regularly on a ceramic rod
  • Sharpen on whetstones (1000/3000 grit recommended)
  • Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife block
