Seki Kanetsugu have been producing quality knives since 1849 so they know a thing or two about a good knife. The ranges we offer are carefully selected to offer amazing value for money, solid performance and a traditional Japanese style.
These are made from VG2 steel. Stainless and similar to VG10. They are hard, sharp, beautiful and very well finished. Not only that but they a really cool 7 sided handle with a cool angled bottom.
The Gyuto is a multi-purpose, large bladed knife that you can use for almost everything. Typically these are light strong knives which range from 180mm to 240mm normally (although sometimes longer), with 210mm being the most common and popular size due to it's sweet spot of length for larger tasks but excellent agility. Longer knives tend to be used more for high volume tasks in professional kitchens where 240mm and even 270mm are popular. 180mm is popular for smaller home kitchen tasks too.
The blade profile is great for cutting in a rocking type motion. If you are looking for one knife, this is the most versatile.
