This blade is forged from 440c steel, a high carbon stainless steel known for taking a wicked edge as well as its corrosion resistance. These knives sport a classic Japanese wa handle that puts most of the knife’s weight in the blade, allowing the knife to do more of the work. 3-layer full-body lamination with a hammer finish.
From Knifewear: “Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, Gyutos are a multi-purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. “Gyuto” translates to “cow sword.” If you want one knife to do it all, This is it. Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.”
