    FAQs

    What makes the Gyuto shape different from a Western chef knife?

    A Gyuto has a slightly thinner blade profile and a more tapered tip compared to a Western chef knife. This gives it enhanced precision for detail work, easier push-cutting, and smoother slicing through proteins and vegetables. It offers the versatility of a chef knife with the refined cutting feel of Japanese design.

    Is the 22 cm blade length suitable for both home cooks and professionals?

    Yes. The 22 cm length provides ample reach for slicing larger items like roasts, melons, or cabbage while remaining nimble enough for everyday chopping, mincing, and dicing. This size is a favourite among professional chefs and advanced home cooks who want versatility without excess bulk.

    How does the VG-10 Damascus steel benefit a Gyuto-style knife?

    VG-10 steel delivers a razor-sharp edge with excellent durability, ideal for handling a wide range of kitchen tasks. The Damascus layering reduces drag, allowing the blade to glide through ingredients smoothlyespecially useful for fine slicing and precision cuts.

    Is the octagonal resin and wood burl handle comfortable for long prep sessions?

    Absolutely. The octagonal shape naturally supports a secure pinch grip from multiple angles, making it comfortable for various hand sizes. The resin-and-burl construction provides stability and grip consistency, even during extended chopping or high-volume prep work.

    Can this knife cut through bones or frozen foods?

    We recommend using a cleaver or specialty knife for bones or frozen items. Using a standard kitchen knife may damage the blade.

    Is this knife dishwasher-safe?

    We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.

    How should I sharpen this knife?

    You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.

    What’s the best way to store this knife?

    Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
