This combination results in a knife with exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and stainless durability.

The knife features a traditional Japanese handle crafted from ebony wood, with an optional protective wooden sheath (Saya) included for storage and aesthetic appeal. This Saya is coated with non-toxic lacquer made from organic tree saps in Japan, adding to the knife's beauty and functionality. The octagonal handle design ensures comfortable use for both left and right-handed individuals.

The Gyuto Chef Knife, a versatile essential in any cook's arsenal, is designed with a curved blade for smooth rocking motions and quick chopping. Ideal for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables, this Japanese knife elevates every culinary task with its precision and quality.

Traditional Japanese knife-making emphasizes sharpness, requiring proper maintenance and care. Use water whetstones for sharpening and honing, and hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the knife on hard objects like bones, nutshells, and frozen foods to preserve its longevity.
