This great looking gyuto is made from the ever popular VG-10 stainless steel. VG-10 is sometimes called V-Gold 10 and it is arguably the most commonly used stainless steel in the Japanese kitchen knife industry. The word Nanairo means seven colors in Japanese and this refers to the multi colored handles they are using on the knives. Some VG-10 knives can be harder to sharpen than other steels but the smiths at Takayuki have developed a special tempering technique which results in a hardness of 60 HRC while being much easier to sharpen.
For many home cooks the 210mm gyuto is the number one choice, the most valuable tool in their kitchen. This is the knife that you can reach for time after time, task after task. At this blade length, these chef’s knives are a perfect tool in any kitchen. They can tackle just about any cutting or chopping task. The edge length comes in at 212mm and, combined with the slightly shorter height of 46mm, results in a slim blade that resembles a classic French profile knife. It is double-sided, so it is useful to right- and left-handed users.
This is a great looking knife that is a breeze to maintain, performs like a champ, and comes at an affordable price.Brand: Takayuki
