The gyuto knife and its stainless steel blade

The Japanese chef's knife, also known as the gyuto, is the equivalent of the Western chef's knife. Its long, fairly high blade is ideal for slicing, dicing and chopping a wide range of foods. Its versatility means you can use it for meat, vegetables and fish!

Its 20cm blade is made of molybdenum-vanadiumstainless steel. With this composition, stainless steel is highly resistant to shock and corrosion. It's a robust alloy that reaches a hardness of nearly 58 HRC, ensuring easy sharpening of this knife's effective cutting edge.

The oval magnolia handle of the Japanese chef's knife

The knife features an oval handle suitable for all hands. This shape hugs the palm of your hand, offering comfort and ergonomics for cutting. It also ensures long, fatigue-free cuts.

Magnolia is a species typical of Japan. It has a soft feel and good strength. Magnolia wood is the material chosen for the handle of this knife because of its characteristics. It has been stained a golden brown, which lends the knife its charm.

The link between handle and blade is made by a stainless steel and black hygienic polymer bolster. Its purpose is to adjust the knife's balance.

We recommend washing this knife by hand. Use a soft sponge and a suitable product under lukewarm water, avoiding wetting the knife handle as much as possible. Then dry the knife thoroughly to avoid any traces of moisture, and store it safely in its case or in a knife block, for example.

This knife is an ideal gift for anyone wishing to learn the art of cooking.
