Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Steel Type

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Care Information

Introducing

Tsukasa Hinoura

Tsukasa Hinoura carries forward a forging lineage now in its third generation. Early in his career, he looked up to Nagashima and Shigeyoshi Iwasaki of Sanjo, two smiths held in high regard throughout Echigo who contributed enormously to elevating the craft of knifemaking in the region. Born in 1956 and based in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, he has now spent 33 years honing his skills. The blades he produces are prized for an edge that is both keen and remarkably durable.

His knives, especially his Damascus pieces, are now highly prized collectors items worldwide.
