Vintage Gyuto Character

The Gyuto is Japan's versatile chef's knife, suited to preparing proteins, slicing vegetables and fine-dicing aromatics. This compact 180mm example offers controlled handling for cooks who prefer a shorter blade, with a wood handle completing its practical vintage design.

The original description records carbon steel and the MSC designation, while the title identifies Masahiro. Those details are preserved without treating MSC as an independently verified maker or importing a model number, steel alloy or production history from another knife. The recorded carbon steel calls for attentive drying and regular edge maintenance.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never put in the dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil to help prevent rust on the recorded carbon steel blade
• Hone carefully as needed and sharpen on a whetstone, preserving the double bevel
• Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll
