Light, agile and versatile

This handmade 225 mm gyuto offers the useful length of a full-sized chef’s knife while weighing only 159 g. Its 52 mm blade height provides comfortable knuckle clearance and plenty of working room above the board.

The combination of a long cutting edge and relatively low weight creates an agile, versatile knife suited to preparing meat, fish and vegetables.

52100 carbon steel

52100 is a fine-grained carbon steel known for its toughness, edge stability and ability to take an exceptionally keen edge. It offers excellent cutting performance and is a popular choice among skilled custom knifemakers.

As a reactive carbon steel, the blade will naturally develop a patina during use, giving each knife its own individual character.

About the maker

Care

52100 is reactive carbon steel and should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. A patina will naturally develop over time. Apply a light coating of food-safe blade oil before longer periods of storage.

Do not place the knife in a dishwasher or use it to cut bones, frozen food or other extremely hard ingredients.
