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: R2/SG2
