Gyuto chef knife, 200 mm - 440C steel with bamboo sheath

The gyuto is the Japanese answer to the chef knife—nimble, well-balanced, and equally at home rocking through herbs or making precision cuts. This one is 200 mm of handmade 440C steel with a hammered pattern that reduces drag and lets the blade work cleanly.

The black pakkawood handle is warm to hold, the blade profile sits somewhere between Japanese and German—curved enough to rock, pointed enough to slice. Hand wash and keep in the bamboo sheath. Lifetime warranty.
