OUL Black Oak Uzu Damascus Gyuto 210mm

The OUL Black Oak Uzu Damascus Gyuto has a beautiful damask pattern and a dark oak handle.

With a blade length of 210 mm, it has enough space to handle large pieces of meat, vegetables and fish. The length also allows for more precision work when needed. Suitable for various tasks in the kitchen. Whether it is chopping vegetables, cutting meat or filleting fish, a Bunka can handle various tasks with precision and ease.

The knife is made of AUS10, which is a very good stainless steel that is easy to maintain and stays sharp.

En gyuto er en tradisjonell japansk kokkekniv som egner seg til alle daglige kjøkkenoppgaver. Den kan sammenliknes med en typisk vestlig kokkekniv, men har ofte en lettere vekt og et tynnere blad.

Kniven har en lang og jevn profil med en spiss tupp, noe som gjør den utmerket for skiving, hakking og finkutting av alt fra fisk, kjøtt og grønnsaker.
Lengden gjør den ofte mer egnet for finskjæring / tranchering da man kan bevare fibrene i ett, rent kutt.

Use
Japanese knives are typically thinner and more delicate than Western knives, so they are not suitable for cutting through bones, frozen foods, or hard objects. Use a softer cutting board made of wood, plastic, or rubber and cut with a rolling motion rather than pressing down forcefully.

Washing and storage
Wash the knife by hand with mild soap and warm water immediately after use. Dry the knife with a soft cloth or kitchen towel to prevent rust. Store the knife in a safe, dry place when not in use. Consider using a knife block, magnetic knife holder, or knife sheath to prevent damage to the blade. Read more

Maintenance
We recommend using a ceramic sharpening rod in combination with a leather strap to maintain/sharpen the edge. This will keep the knife sharp for much longer before it needs to be sharpened on a stone. When sharpening, we recommend wet sharpening stones for the best results while removing minimal material.
