The Sentan Gyuto 240mm with purple ferrule is a longer, more powerful option in the lineup, offering extended reach and efficiency for larger prep tasks. Built around SLD semi-stainless steel, it provides excellent edge retention, solid toughness, and easier sharpening than many high-hardness stainless steels. Despite the added length, the thin grind keeps the knife feeling nimble and responsive, allowing it to glide smoothly through vegetables, proteins, and larger ingredients with confidence.
The stainless cladding improves corrosion resistance and is finished in a nashiji texture that adds subtle visual character while maintaining a functional surface. The exposed SLD edge gives a clean contrast and highlights the cutting core. An olive wood handle offers a warm, comfortable grip, while the purple acrylic ferrule adds a bold accent and long-term durability. This is a well-balanced, high-performing gyuto that handles bigger prep with ease while still feeling controlled and precise.
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. SLD steel is semi-stainless and may develop a light patina over time; this is normal and does not affect performance.Brand: Sentan
