Chef Gyuto 218 S-grind

The Gyuto is a versatile kitchen knife suitable for many tasks such as slicing and dicing meat, vegetables and fish. The blade is slightly curved, allowing for an efficient “cradle” motion for chopping herbs or vegetables.

The knife has a special ”hollow” cut, which gives it less resistance when slicing and thus greater cutting power. The main advantage is that the cut food sticks to the blade much less than with conventional wedge-cut knives.

The blade is made of Swedish AEB-L stainless steel with a high hardness of 60-61 HRC. With such a high hardness, the blade has an excellent and durable edge, but the knife must not be used to cut into bones or frozen food, as this risks damaging the blade.

The knife does not require any special care, just wash with water and wipe dry after use. Sharpening of the knife is best on water stones, do not hesitate to contact me if necessary.
