About the knife type: Gyuto (chef's knife)

A gyuto is a Japanese chef's knife for all everyday kitchen work. It is similar to a Western chef's knife, but is often lighter with a thinner blade.

The profile is long and even with a pointed tip. It slices, chops and minces fish, meat and vegetables. The length lets you slice in a single cut and keep the fibres intact.

About the steel: White #1 (Shirogami #1)

A high-carbon steel known for taking a very sharp edge and being easy to sharpen. Clean and dry straight after use; avoid long exposure to moisture. Over time the steel develops a natural patina that improves rust resistance and gives the blade character.

Hardness 63-64 HRC · Care: loves care. HRC is the hardness of the steel: harder holds the edge longer, softer is easier to sharpen.

Care and maintenance

Carbon steel: rinse and dry the knife right after use. A little dark patina is normal and protects the steel.

Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.
