The Gyuto is the Japanese chef's knife, initially used on meats only. However this style is a great all rounder for quick chopping of not only meats but vegetables, herbs and fish too. This larger Gyuto is more popular with professional chefs or those confident using a bigger knife. The shape of the blade resembles that more of a traditional western chefs knife.
This gorgeous Aogami Polished Damascus blade is constructed with 30 layers surrounding the cutting core. This knife comes with a classic walnut and oak handle.
Important information; Carbon steel knives will oxidise and discolour. This is not a fault, it is a nature of the material. They must be dried after use and traditionally they are treated after use with camellia oil which inhibits the oxidation process. If the fact that carbon steel requires a little bit more maintenance is of concern then a laminated or folded steel knife should be considered. You can purchase rust erasers to clean the blades.
