The Takayuki knife company has existed in one form or another for 600 years, and that depth of experience has shaped a modern company intent on combining new technologies and methods with this ancient art. This 240mm gyuto brings that lineage to the most popular professional gyuto length, suited to high-volume prep and large proteins alike.
The blade is made with top-quality Bohler N690 stainless steel, sourced from the Swedish Uddeholm factory. The quality iron used to produce N690 is excavated from the Uddeholm company mines and contains an extremely low amount of phosphorus and sulfur, resulting in a steel regarded as one of the finest in the world. Takayuki hardens the steel to about 60 HRC, and because this is a mono steel blade with no cladding of other steels, the knife offers superior stainless properties and the ease of maintenance many chefs appreciate.
Care Instructions: Bohler N690 is a fully stainless steel - hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones and strop regularly between sharpenings.
