The Range - SKD Nashiji
These knives are some of the greatest performers we've seen, and they rightly hold an international reputation for their incredible quality and performance. Insanely sharp yet very forgiving and solid in performance, these knives are favoured by many all over the world. The Nashiji finish, which translates as pear skin, is gorgeous and gives the knife a very striking appearance.
The Steel - SKD
SKD steel is a carbon steel achieving a super sharpness while also being pretty easy to keep sharp. It's clad with stainless steel which helps protect against any reaction to moisture. Our care instructions for a carbon knife, link below, should be followed.
The Model - Gyuto
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.
