Description: Longer than the santoku, the gyuto is the essential kitchen knife and is used for all-around food preparation. The gyuto has less curve than a Western chef's knife, which means it contacts the cutting board along more of its length, so more food is cut per slice and it needs to be lifted less, making cutting more efficient. The arc of the blade edge is perfect for a rocking chop. The slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance just right. Whether slicing, chopping, or dicing, this nimble chef's knife is a perfect choice.
Hatsukokoro Yorokobi SLD Copper Suminasghi knives combine meticulous craftsmanship and artistry. Hand forged in Sanjo, Japan by the master blacksmith behind the renowned Komorebi series, this chef's knife showcases SLD semi-stainless steel, promising enduring strength, straightforward honing, and remarkable edge longevity. Alternating layers of copper and stainless steel are exceptionally dramatic. The ambidextrous convex grind provides effortless food release while chopping, slicing, or dicing. The blade is distal tapered (beginning with a thick spine where the blade comes out of the handle and becoming progressively thinner as it approaches the tip) for perfect balance. Both the spine and the choil are beautifully rounded for comfort when held in a pinch grip.
The octagonal "Wa" style handle is ambidextrous. Stabilized birch burl is highlighted with a synthetic bone spacer. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
Yorokobi SLD Copper Suminagashi chef's knives by Hatsukokoro are a great choice for the cook who is looking for an ultra-high performance, world class, perfectly balanced semi-stainless knife that will excel in any kitchen.
