Meaning “Beef knife” in Japanese, the Gyuto is the most common and basic of all knives, the Japanese version of the classic western Chef’s knife. It is used as a multi-purpose knife, suitable for meat, fish, vegetables and more. Can be used with almost all different cutting techniques.

Featuring a Kurouchi rustic finish and a beautiful handle this 210mm Gyuto is an excellent choice for and all round knife for any task.

Important Note: Dao Vua knives are fully hand forged and therefore can have imperfections in finishing or straightness. They are delivered without a box (but very well protected) and extra sharpening service is strongly suggested as their sharpness out of the box can be drastically improved.

Handles come in different colors and may vary from the one you see in the picture. If you want to be sure of the handle color kindly contact us by email or messenger.

Important Note: This is a Carbon Steel knife and not a stainless one. Requires attention and care in its maintenance like quick washing and drying after use, storing in low humidity area and application of mineral oil if not used for some time.

Over time it will form a patina that will protect it from rust. In case rust appears, use baking soda on wet blade, leave it for 10 mins and rub carefully with your finger or a soft sponge. In case rust is not removed, contact us for further instructions.
