Gihei Hamono ZDP-189 Gyuto 210mm

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.

ZDP-189 steel, a premium high-carbon stainless steel developed by Hitachi, is celebrated for its exceptional hardness and unmatched edge retention. With an extremely high carbon content and added chromium, it offers outstanding sharpness and corrosion resistance. Its remarkable wear resistance and ability to hold a razor edge make ZDP-189 one of the finest choices for high-performance Japanese knives.
