Overview
Spyderco offers this Murray Carter Wakiita gyuto, a forged chef's knife from the Itamae Series. The blade has a full-flat grind and pairs with an octagonal wa-style handle in black and burl patterns.
Choose it as a long, full-flat-ground gyuto for slicing and chopping on a board. The steel and handle material are listed, but hardness, edge angle and care rules are not, and the knife is aimed at experienced cooks.
Who it's for
Culinary professionals and serious home cooks who like a wa-style handle will take to the shape. Beginners, or anyone wanting a short, light knife for small tasks, should start with a smaller blade.
Pros and cons
- Wa-style octagonal handle
- Black ferrule detail
- Hardness and edge angle not listed
- Long blade needs a large board
Performance notes
A full-flat grind tapers the blade evenly from spine to edge, which reduces wedging when slicing and lets the knife pass through food with little resistance. Forging shapes the blade profile, and the edge steel is named in the key facts. A long gyuto works by push and pull cuts across a board, and the wa-style handle sets a pinch grip.
