Made in Japan.

The Hitachi steel used in this series of knives is remarkably strong and yet does not chip easily. Full tang and triple riveted wooden handles provide a very comfortable grip and excellent balance. The blades taper smoothly to an almost imperceptible edge that is mirror polished and extremely sharp.

The gyutou is a versatile chef's knife. It can be used for cutting meat, fish and vegetables, making it suitable for preparing Western cuisine. Lightweight and thin, Japanese chef knives have a sharper blade and maintain their sharpness longer than most other chef knives.
