Overview
A long stainless steel blade with a plain edge does the cutting on this Japanese chef knife, joined to a brown wood handle with stainless fittings. It follows the gyuto pattern, the all-round knife of Japanese kitchens.
The long blade handles meat, fish and vegetables in one tool. The wood handle gives it a warmer look than an all-steel knife. Steel grade, hardness and care advice are not described.
Who it's for
Home cooks and students who want a gyuto for daily prep. Those who compare steel types and hardness numbers will find too little detail here.
Pros and cons
- Long gyuto blade
- Plain edge for general use
- Stainless steel blade
- Light for its length
- Steel grade not listed
- Care instructions missing
- Listing text partly untranslated
Performance notes
A long blade covers more of the board in each stroke, which speeds up slicing and dicing. The plain edge suits push cuts and slicing equally. The listing does not state edge angle or hardness.
