The Gyuto is a great all around chef knife that excels at slicing vegetables as well as proteins. Its gently curved cutting edge makes it a favorite among people used to Western styled knives. With lengths ranging from 210mm - 255mm (8.26” - 10.04”) its easy to find something that fits your personal needs. These knives are available with traditional curve tips as well as strait K-tips. We don’t feel one design has any advantage over the other. Go with which ever one is more aesthetically pleasing to you. They are available in both stainless as well as carbon steel. Stainless requires less maintenance during use and is what we recommend to most of our customers since its what most home cooks are accustomed to using. Carbon provides a superior cutting edge that will last longer and is easier to maintain but it requires additional care during use to prevent rust from occurring. A patina WILL occur on carbon blades which is a good thing as it makes the blade more impervious to moisture but will never be as rust resistant as stainless.
