The gyuto is Japan's answer to the Western chef's knife: longer, thinner, and ground to a more acute angle. At 300mm, this blade handles whole fish, large proteins, and long vegetable cuts with a single fluid stroke. Carbon steel sharpens to a keener edge than stainless and develops a natural patina over time - a mark of use and ownership that stainless can never replicate. Double bevel geometry makes this accessible to any skilled cook, right or left handed. The timber handle is classic and replaceable. This knife has never been used - it is, in every sense, new old stock.\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 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":55408899817763,"sku":"Sakai Kiyochikagyuto300mm","price":180.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/3F9FF8D3-BD74-4003-B10D-384591EAFFCD.jpg?v=1787225335","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-sakai-kiyochika-gyuto-knife-300mm-carbon-steel-2148","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
