The most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have is a Japanese chef's knife, known as a Gyuto knife. Preparing delicious meals starts with taking wholesome ingredients and using the best tools, such as a high quality chef's knife to make every meal into something special. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from a farmer's market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional. Our Yoshihiro Inox Gyuto Chef Knife is forged with a Western style curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth with an extended tip for quick chopping. Forged from a single piece of high carbon Aus-10 stainless steel, this knife is complemented by a premium Western style high-grade composite wood handle that extends to the full tang of the knife and is NSF certified for use in commerical kitchens, and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. This knife also comes with a protective wooden sheath called a "Saya", which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. Available in 7-inch, 8.25-inch, 9.5-inch, and 11.7 inch.
