SKU: H134 ISBN: H134
237,00 €

The Gyuto is an all-purpose knife with a pointed tip and a slender blade. The pointed tip enables an easy targeted cut and helps slice meat and fish. It used to be a knife for professional chefs but nowadays is also used by households. Its curved blade helps you apply force to cut food without effort.

VG-10 Stainless Steel
VG-10 (Takefu Special Steel Co., Ltd.) is one of the most popular and highly regarded Japanese Stainless Steels for making cutlery. It has strong corrosion-resistance and can provide very good edge sharpness and edge retention. VG-10 belongs to a group of steels called "Cobalt Steels”, but it also contains Vanadium, which improves its strength, toughness and edge retention.
The knife bears visible impressions of the hand-forging process (round hammer dents on the blade), which gives it a beautiful finish and also prevents food from sticking to the blade.

Excellent quality and speedy delivery

I bought Gyuto VG-10 Tsuchime Damascus Pakka Handle as a gift to my partner for this Christmass. Knife is breathtakingly beautiful, sheath and the gift box also.

Delivery was super fast. I can recommend this e-shop to everyone and I am looking forward to order more beautiful knives from here.

Everything they say about these knives is true. If you are a knife person you really need to experience cutting with one of these knives.

A good surprise !

It's a bit heavy at first but it feels crazy solid, the steel used for the blade is a REAL stainless and will handle the worst treatment you could put on it without showing any signs of rust. It is surprisingly sharp out of the box and as long as you don't grind the edge too thin it will stay sharp for years ! Edge retention is impressive.

I bought it as my first "real" chef's knife (not a cheap one from the local market). It cuts like a dream out of the box, I don't know how I went without one!

Great edge and exquisite craftsmanship. I use it regularly and it is not only beautiful, but a highly effective gyuto for everyday use. I highly recommend!

And I think I answered it. Both knives are very nice, although VG10 at this hardness do need extra care.
