Gyuto / Chef Knives
The Gyuto is a Japanese chef's knife with a Western style curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth and has an extended tip for quick chopping that can be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables. "Gyuto” literally means “beef sword” and was initially used for cutting meat in Japan. The Gyuto is one of the most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have.

The Tojiro Shirogami Carbon Steel Gyuto designed to peel, trim, slice, dice, chop, mince, vegetables, fillet fish, and cut meat. Handcrafted of White #2 Shirogami steel. The Shirogami clad core is the same type of steel, but with a dark and rough looking kurouchi finish. Both steels are reactive when exposed to moisture and acidic foods. The knife will change colors with hues of blues and grays over time.
- Carbon steel blade with a kurouchi (dark) finish; dark finish prevents food from reacting with the blade
- Shirogami (White Steel) #2

- Please note that this knife is not stainless, it will patina and will rust if not washed and dried immediately after use
