An In depth look

Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Steel Type

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon steel and as such, will require a little more care than a regular off-the-shelf knife. It must be dried shortly after use, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust spots to appear. A very light coat of oil during storage also helps to prevent rust spots. A patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will occur with use.

Introducing

Hinoura Hamono

Hinoura Hamono are considered to be one of the most legendary blacksmithing workshops in Japan. Based in Sanjo, Niigata, Tsukasa San and Mutsumi San possess an extremely deep knowledge of metallurgy, sharpening, and Damascus forging which owe to their blades being revered by many around the world. As of 2026, the father and son duo have parted ways in their manufacturing, with Mutsumi San beginning "Tsuchinone", his own standalone workshop.
