Designed as a true all-purpose kitchen knife, the Sentan Semi-Stainless Nashiji Gyuto 210mm with purple-gold ferrule offers a balance of length, agility, and cutting power for a wide range of tasks. Sentan is a coined word meaning forged a thousand times, fitting for a line built on patient, repeated work. At its core is a Japanese high-carbon, high-chromium semi-stainless tool steel, first developed for the industrial dies that cut and shape other metals. That heritage shows at the edge: hard chromium carbides resist wear through long prep sessions, and small additions of molybdenum and vanadium keep the steel tough and fine grained. It is far easier to care for than carbon steel while holding an edge just as well.
Gyuto is the Japanese chef knife, and at 212 mm this one is a comfortable size for home kitchens and crowded line stations alike. The 47 mm blade height and thin grind let it glide through proteins, vegetables, and herbs with minimal resistance. Stainless cladding with a nashiji (pear skin) finish protects the core, and the exposed core steel at the edge gives it a clean, purposeful look. The olive wood handle is comfortable, and the purple-gold acrylic ferrule adds a unique visual pop while staying durable and water resistant. At 61 HRC, the edge lasts.
Please note that the manufacturing process for the acrylic ferrule uses both purple and gold tones, which results in a varying mixture of the two colors.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry immediately after use. Do not store the knife wet or leave it in a sheath or saya while damp. Avoid cutting hard or frozen foods. Use a wooden or soft synthetic cutting board. The core steel is semi-stainless and may develop a light patina over time, which is normal and does not affect performance.
