Description: Double Bevel
The Gyuto is a Japanese variation of western chef's knife. In other words - all purpose knife. Main difference of a Gyuto from western chef's knife is its thinner blade and much harder steel.  It is primarily used for slicing and chopping of vegetables and can also used for slicing of meat, poultry and seafood.

This handmade chef's knife by Kazuyuki Tanaka is among the finest cutlery ever made -- combining R2 powdered metallurgical (PM) steel with Tanaka's craftsmanship clearly makes his handmade knives one of our shop favorites.
Tanaka starts with ultra-modern, limited production, R2 PM stainless steel and forges this between layers of soft, supportive Damascus. The resulting edge is tempered to Rc 63-64 (very hard!) for exceptional edge holding, but is easy to sharpen.
A nickel silver bolster separates the blade from the desert ironwood handle. The handle is nicely carved for a very comfortable and secure grip. Mosaic pins complete the presentation. The blade is fully honed and extremely sharp.
