440C hammered steel Gyuto - KOTAI
The Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent of the chef's knife, handy and balanced for an ideal grip, able to cut everything except bones and frozen food. Japanese precision, Western strength. The best of both worlds. * 100% handmade * Ultra-sharp Japanese 440C steel * Full tang * Pakkawood handle * Perfectly balanced * Stainless steel * Pine wood saya (sheath) included with each knife * Lifetime warranty * HRC hardness: 59-60 * Weight: 198g Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the hammering of the "Tsuchime" blade creates small pockets of air between the blade and the food slices. This ancestral Japanese method prevents the food from sticking to the blade for a pleasant and fast cutting. Its blade profile - a hybrid between an Asian and Western knife - facilitates fast and precise cutting. The Gyuto will allow you to slice and mince without crushing even the most delicate ingredients, so that they retain their full flavor. The KOTAI Gyuto is forged with 440C steel, a premium steel that combines high carbon content for hardness and durability with the optimal amount of chromium to prevent oxidation. The full hidden tang - a single piece of steel from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle - gives the Gyuto ideal balance and outstanding durability.
