VG-1 steel is synonymous with efficiency and durability and is extremely easy to maintain as the blade is completely stainless. Unlike other knives, this knife is not laminated and is made entirely of one steel, being of so-called "monosteel" construction.

We are very happy to be able to introduce this new line to Japanese knives aficionados across the world! The minimalism and subtlety of design is what first drew us to this collection forged in Harukaze smithy. 

Gyuto knife is a Japanese version of traditional European Chef knife; a multi-purpose knife, where blade lengths vary from 210mm (8.3") to as long as 300mm (11.8"). The longer ones primarily for cutting larger chunks of meat, while the shorter ones excel at slicing vegetables and cutting a steak or two.

This 210mm (8.3") Gyuto blade, at just 2mm (0.08"), is among the thinnest we have in our range. The knife has an immaculate "out of the box" sharpness, laser-thin spine of the blade, good balance and offers a lightweight feeling while in use.

VG-1 steel is synonymous with efficiency and durability and is extremely easy to maintain as the blade is completely stainless. Unlike other knives, this knife is not laminated and is made entirely of one steel, being of so-called "monosteel" construction.

The blade is minimalistic with a polished surface and an engraved signature by the master on the right side. The handle (traditional Japanese Wa) is oval and smooth, with no discernible transition between the rosewood and maple wood. It’s suitable for both left- and right-handed users.

Where the blade meets the handle, you may notice a special feature called Machi spacing. This is a small gap between the lower part of the blade and the handle, which can be seen mostly in Yanagiba knives. It is a feature that pays tribute to Japanese swords and is typical mostly in the work of blacksmiths located in and around the Tokyo area. So don't worry, it is not a flaw in assembly of the blade and the handle, but rather a homage to Japanese forging tradition that could be displayed on a magnet right there on your kitchen wall. :)

Suitable for first-time buyers of a Japanese kitchen knife. It can also serve as a wonderful gift!

    ☝️ Japanese kitchen knives in our store are handmade from natural materials. Slight variations in color, texture, weight and other dimensions are possible. We try to give a good photographic representation of our products, however computer screen resolution and colors do vary, so products might not look exactly as they are seen on screen.

    Blade wear depends on the quality of steel, usage and maintenance of the blade. Japanese knives are made of high-quality steels. Follow these tips to keep your Japanese knife in top-notch shape:

    ✔ Use a wooden, plastic or rubber cutting board.
    ✔ After use, wash the knives and wipe them dry.
    ✔ For storage, use a knife holder or a protective knife sheath (saya).
    ✔ A good cutting technique is your best bet to prolong sharpness.
    ✔ Use sharpening stones to sharpen the knife.

    ❗️Don’t leave the knife in the sink. Wash it by hand.
    ❗️Don’t wash the knife in the dishwasher.
    ❗️Don’t use the knife on glass, ceramics, marble or steel surfaces.
    ❗️Don’t scrape the food off the cutting board with the edge of the blade. Use the spine of the knife instead.
    ❗️Knife is a tool intended for specific use - cutting food. It is not a can opener, screwdriver, trowel, wire cutter, hammer etc.
