Gyuto Chef Knife, Handcrafted in Japan

The most versatile and essential knife for any cook is a Japanese chef's knife known as a Gyuto knife. The Gyuto has a curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth with an extended tip for quick chopping, making it ideal for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. Proudly made in Japan and not mass-produced, this knife features a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically designed for seamless use. It is excellent for both home chefs and professionals.

The Blade

Our Ice Hardened AUS-10 stainless steel knives are made by forging a single piece of high carbon Aus-10 stainless steel. This ice hardening process draws out the hardness of the refined steel while infusing it with enough resilience to perform consistently in demanding conditions. These knives are perfect for those seeking a thin, razor-sharp, double-edged blade that is lightweight.

Care & Sharpening

Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, especially when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the knife on objects like bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

Additional Features

The Ice Hardened Molybdenum series offers elevated edge retention and stain resistance. The thin blade design ensures superior cutting with minimal abrasions to its surface. These knives are lightweight, balanced, and fit for comfort, making them perfect for chefs seeking a thin and razor-sharp blade.

Yoshihiro AUS10 Ice Hardened Stainless Steel Wa Gyuto Japanese Chef Knife is a professional quality knife with impeccable craftsmanship, razor-sharpness, durability, and comfort. Each knife is a unique work of art handcrafted by master artisans. The package includes a protective wooden sheath called a Saya to protect the knife when not in use.
