Blade Type

The Gyuto knife, a cornerstone of Japanese culinary tradition, is a versatile, all-purpose chef's knife. Its name, translating to "beef sword," reflects its proficiency in slicing meat and in more modern times vegetables. However, its slightly curved blade excels in chopping, dicing, and mincing, making it indispensable in any kitchen.

Steel Type

Swedish Stainless Steel, a premium stainless alloy refined for exceptional purity and consistency, offers a superb balance between edge performance and corrosion resistance. It provides a clean, smooth cutting feel and maintains sharpness well while being much easier to care for than high-carbon steels. Though it doesn’t take quite as fine an edge as reactive steels like White #2, it delivers excellent durability and stability in everyday kitchen environments. Ideal for chefs who want reliable sharpness and effortless maintenance without constant worry about rust.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon steel and as such, will require a little more care than a regular off-the-shelf knife. It must be dried shortly after use, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust spots to appear. A very light coat of oil during storage also helps to prevent rust spots. A patina (coloration and seasoning of the steel) will occur with use. 

Introducing

Ashi Hamono

Founded in 1948 by Hiroshi Ashi in Sakai, Osaka — Japan's knife-making capital — Ashi Hamono has built a serious reputation over the decades for producing some of the most precise, high-performance blades out there. They're well known for their incredibly thin, lightly convex blades that glide through food like nothing else. These pieces are crafted by Ashi, and signed by Sakai Kikumori.
