An In Depth Look

Blade Type
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
Steel Type Read

Japanese Blue Super Steel, an elite variant of the "Aogami" series, is a high-carbon steel alloyed with chromium, tungsten, and added vanadium. This composition enhances its wear resistance, edge retention, and overall toughness. It will still rust if left wet for too long, but not as quickly as any of the other carbon steels. Favored in fine knife crafting, Blue Super Steel is renowned for producing exceptionally sharp and durable Japanese knives.

Nigara Hamono of Aomori are truly some of the most experienced knifemakers in Japan. Headed by Go-Yoshizawa San whom we met personally in 2023 (what a legend), they are now on their 8th generation of blacksmiths, they are masters at stainless Damascus forging and heat treatment. They supply knives of impeccable finish with some of the best performing knives we've come across. They can also do it all, from forging Honyaki, experimenting with new steels and wild finishes, to creating flawless daily workhorse knives that don't break the bank.
