This range of high quality knives are made in Japan using VG10 stainless steel with a hammered (Tsuchime) finish. They offer one of the most cost effective ways to get a knife as beautiful and high quality as this.
VG10 stain-resistant core steel is very popular for it's superior specification, superb sharpness and excellent edge retention.
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.
