The 210mm gyuto is the most popular size for a classic chef knife, offering an ideal balance of length, control, and versatility for both home cooks and professionals. The blade is made from Bohler N690 stainless steel, a high-quality European steel known for its fine grain structure, toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance. The mono steel construction, with no cladding, results in a clean and consistent grind along with genuinely easy maintenance.
Heat treated to around 60 HRC, the steel offers an excellent balance of edge retention, durability, and ease of sharpening. The POM handle provides a secure, familiar Western feel that makes this knife especially approachable for cooks accustomed to European-style knife handles.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry after use. Do not put in the dishwasher. Use a soft cutting board and avoid bones, frozen foods, and hard surfaces to prevent edge damage.

As soon as this knife entered my arsenal all my western knives immediately felt obsolete. I had a Henkel and mercer that are the home backups and never follow me to work anymore. This blade is light, comfortable, and absolutely all purpose. It holds a great edge at a fine angle and is much easier to sharpen than my vg10 knives.
This could easily be the only knife any casual user ever needs.
