The 180mm gyuto sits at the shorter end of the chef's knife spectrum - fast, responsive, and easy to manoeuvre in tight prep spaces or smaller hands. Carbon steel takes a sharper edge than stainless and develops a patina with use, building a character that is entirely your own. Double bevel geometry suits any cook, and the timber handle keeps the balance natural and the weight low. This knife has never touched a cutting board - it is new old stock in the truest sense, and a rare find at this price point.Care and Maintenance Hand wash only - never dishwasher Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust Apply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing long-term Hone regularly on a ceramic rod or leather strop Sharpen on a whetstone; 1000-3000 grit for maintenance, 6000+ for finishing Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer
