Description

The Japanese word Gyuto (牛刀) literally translates to beef sword. The gyuto is the equivalent of the Western chef's knife, and is designed to cut everything: vegetables, meats and fishes. It is made to be used with the push-cut method, lifting the blade between each cutting motion, or with the rocking motion method. It is important that the blade is straight upon impact with the cutting board to avoid damage to the knife edge.

Manufactured in Echizen in the Fukui region by the Takamura Forge, Hitohira's TP SG2 line is as efficient as it is elegant. The powder-metallurgy Super Gold 2(SG2) steel is known for its higher-than-average cutting retention and breathtaking sharpness. The red Pakka handles are emblematic of this line and are comfortable in the hand.

Maintenance tips

Have it sharpened on a water stone by a professional every year. Store in a dry place. Wash immediately after use and dry completely before storing. Do not let soak. Not dishwasher safe.

Guarantee
Guarantee

Each knife is guaranteed for life for obvious issues related to the manufacturing of the product. For example, if the handle becomes loose or cracks after a few weeks of adequate use. Or if the blade has a crack from the edge to the column of the blade. These problems are rare, but can occur. In which case you will be offered an exchange for the same product or a refund. As each case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime warranty for obvious manufacturing issues applies.

What are the different types of Japanese knives?

What are the different types of Japanese knives?

Each Japanese knife is made with a specific purpose in mind. There are types of multi-purpose knives such as the Gyuto which is the equivalent of a chef's knife or the Santoku which translates into: three virtues, a name that well represents its multiplicity. The Sujihiki and the Yanagiba are made for slicing while the Nakiri and the Usuba are specialized for cutting vegetables. Without forgetting the Petty for precision tasks. The list goes on and the possibilities are diverse.

Why buy a Japanese knife?

Why buy a Japanese knife?

Japanese blades are lighter, very balanced, higher hardness, sharper and retain their sharpness longer. This allows the user greater control of his work tool and a clean cut to alter the texture and flavor of the food as little as possible.
