Teruyasu Fujiwara Maboroshi Gyuto 180mm Pakka Handle

A chef's knife ('Gyuto' in Japanese) is the most versatile blade that can handle almost anything in the kitchen. Their shape and often generous edge length mean that whether it's cutting small tomatoes or portioning a large roast, you can do it with one blade. Most cooks have multiple chef's knives and it is not hard to justify getting one more when it has so much utility. Shirogami is pure carbon steel with impurities reduced as much as possible, suitable for making ideal blades that are sharp and easy to sharpen by appropriate forging and heat treatment. The finish is hammered, making it difficult for food to stick to the kitchen knife surface.
