We have been proud to work with our team of top-ranking craftsman from Sakai, Osaka, who produce our Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan series of knives.
Their work is always impressive, with fine attention to details and excellent fit and finish.
This basic and classic Japanese Traditional Style knife is made with a core of the very popular, high purity, Hitachi White No2. Japanese high carbon steel, which is sandwiched between two layers of soft iron. The blade is carefully hand ground to create superb cutting geometry and it is beautifully hand polished. Indeed, the overall fit and finish of the knife is excellent.
This knife has a comfortable octagonal magnolia wood handle, which has a buffalo horn ferrule. For safekeeping, each knife comes with a matching magnolia wood Saya (Sheath) with a black pakkawood Saya pin.
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.
I'm new to high quality kitchen knifes, but I have been loving this knife so far and can't recommend it enough. The upkeep of a carbon steel knife isn't all that difficult either.
This knife looks just as good in person as it does on the website
This is my main knife at work, cuts like a dream and still has a hair shaving edge after a month of continuous use

I bought this knife on the Black Friday deal. JCK did a great job to deliver it. The knife was delivered in four days. I'm very pleased with the knife. It is my first Japanese traditional style knife. I've got a few Misono knives as well. The knife cuts and slice very well. It's really sharp and easy to work with. Blade needs some oil care to prevent developing rust. I can't say much about the blade edge retention yet, because I have it only for two months. So far it's been excellent. I'm really pleased with the knife.
