The secret behind the outstanding cutting performance of Kanetsugu knives is their custom-designed convex blade profile and their thin cutting edges, which are suitable for fine cutting tasks. The AUS-8 Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel blades of the Pro M series are corrosion-resistant, tough, strong and easy of re-sharpen. These characteristics make them very suitable for first-time users of Japanese knives, but cost-conscious professionals will also appreciate them. Their handles are made from black-colored pakkawood, which is water-resistant, durable and very stable. The rounded handle shape provides a comfortable, secure grip and is well balanced against the weight of the blade.
The Gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western Chef’s knife. It can be used with a variety of different cutting techniques to achieve a wide range of kitchen tasks and is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. The Gyuto is true multi-purpose knife.

United StatesI am a home cook with adequate (but by no means extraordinary) knife skills. While I have neither the means nor the inclination to buy extreme high end cutlery, I do appreciate good knives and these (I purchased both a gyuto and petty) certainly qualify. They are comfortable to grip. sharp and nimble. The fit and finish are outstanding for the price. For me they hit the "sweet spot", giving me great performance at a very reasonable price. I have to add that the service was outstanding as well. I was literally stunned to receive the knives (from Japan!) 2 days after placing the order. Kudos Iwahara-san!
