Common Questions

Is this a single-bevel kiritsuke? No. This is a double-bevel kiritsuke-style gyuto, suitable for both right- and left-handed cooks. Its pointed profile combines a chef's knife cutting edge with a precise tip.

Does Ginsan steel need special care? Ginsan is stainless steel, but it still needs sensible knife care. Hand-wash with mild soap, dry thoroughly and store safely. Avoid dishwashers, soaking, bones, frozen food and twisting the edge through dense ingredients.

Is a 240mm gyuto suitable for home cooking? Yes, if you prefer a longer blade and have enough cutting-board space. It is especially useful for larger produce and longer slicing strokes. A knife-friendly cutting board helps protect the fine edge.
