Description: Longer than the santoku, the gyuto is the essential kitchen knife and is used for all-around food preparation. The gyuto has less curve than a Western chef's knife, which means it contacts the cutting board along more of its length, so more food is cut per slice and it needs to be lifted less, making cutting more efficient. The arc of the blade edge is perfect for a rocking chop. The slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance just right. Whether slicing, chopping, or dicing, this nimble chef's knife is a perfect choice.
The premium aogami 2 carbon steel core is surrounded by damascus (mokume) forged from layers of copper, brass, and nickel. Blue steel (aogami) is a favorite of professional chefs due to the exceptionally long-lasting edge. The thin blade is distal tapered for optimal balance with a clean grind and no wedging. The spine and choil are rounded and polished to remove any potential hot spots during use. Because this knife is forged from carbon steel, we recommend camellia oil to protect it from rust and oxidation.
The octagonal "Wa" style handle is ambidextrous. Stabilized birch wood forms the ferrule and handle, separated by a polished synthetic spacer. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
Hatsukokoro Hayabusa Aogami 2 YuShoku chef’s knives combine high performance geometry with exceptional edge holding. These knives are a great choice for the cook who is looking for a world class carbon steel core with a dramatic mokume san mai.
