The 180mm gyuto sits at the shorter end of the chef's knife spectrum - fast, responsive, and easy to manoeuvre in tight prep spaces or smaller hands. Carbon steel takes a sharper edge than stainless and develops a patina with use, building a character that is entirely your own. Double bevel geometry suits any cook, and the timber handle keeps the balance natural and the weight low. This knife has never touched a cutting board - it is new old stock in the truest sense, and a rare find at this price point.\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 to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing long-term\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a ceramic rod or leather strop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone; 1000-3000 grit for maintenance, 6000+ for finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55408906928419,"sku":"Masahirogyuto180","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/44E9C356-60E8-4B74-92DC-D1E6859C4F86.jpg?v=1787227211","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-masahiro-gyuto-knife-180mm-carbon-steel-2149","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
