This Gyuto is a versatile chef’s knife with a 210 mm blade, slender geometry and distinctive hammered finish. The blade is ground thin, measuring 2.5 mm at the spine, making it highly cutting-friendly, especially for vegetables, meat, fish and herbs.

The cutting core is made of 9Cr18MoV stainless steel. This steel is often described as a VG10-like alternative: rust-resistant, easy to sharpen, with good edge retention and a balanced combination of sharpness, hardness and ease of maintenance.

The core is clad in 66 layers of 420 stainless Damascus steel, giving the knife the classic 67-layer construction. The Tsuchime finish reduces food from sticking to the blade and gives it its distinctive texture.

The octagonal Wa handle is made of stabilised wood. It feels steady in the hand, is less sensitive to moisture than untreated wood and makes each knife visually unique through its grain.
