Japanese Gyuto (High Carbon Steel)

This Stainless Japanese Gyuto is your perfect companion for precise slicing. Hand forged in Winnipeg Manitoba, it's crafted from 15N20 High Carbon steel and features a very thin edge and traditional Kurochi finish to showcase the hammer marks left over from the hand forging process. Comfort is key; the ergonomic handle fits comfortably and ensures it stays in your hand during use. We offer a few different exotic woods for the handle, such as East Indian Rosewood and Bocote, which are durable exotics that stand up well to moisture. Each knife handle includes G10 liners for a pop of colour.

This wood is quite durable and although they are not dishwasher safe, a light coat of mineral oil from time to time is enough to protect them from moisture and humidity changes. This knife is a great companion to the Japanese Petty Knife, if you are looking for a thin, long slicer that'll hold a great edge!

The 15N20 High Carbon steel is perfect for durability and those that want a high grade steel, however it will require a bit of care, chiefly mineral oil for storage to protect against rust. Make sure to check out our knife care section to see if High Carbon steel is right for your kitchen, and if you want a high grade steel that will hold an excellent edge and etch with use to reflect your personal culinary style this is the blade for you!
