210mm gyutos are the workhorses of many home kitchens, along with professionals who prefer a shorter blade - genuinely all-around cutters capable of handling almost any ingredient. The Tsunehisa G3 Migaki gyuto is fairly light but not quite a laser, with a medium height and thickness that gives it a sharp, precise feel. The profile runs fairly flat with just a small amount of belly for those who prefer rocking cuts, and the fit and finish are very good, with a nicely finished choil and spine.
The blade is built around a core of G3, also known as Ginsan or Silver #3, an excellent stainless steel that echoes the character of Japanese carbon steels, with hardness similar to Shirogami #2 and edge retention only slightly behind it. Combining ease of sharpening, carbon-like cutting feel, and easy maintenance, G3 is a great choice for cooks who do not want the extra work a full carbon blade demands. The core is clad in a softer stainless steel for added strength and shock resistance, and the rosewood and maple oval handle is comfortable in hand, with hand-chiseled kanji adding a lovely finishing touch.
What Customers Are Saying: One reviewer simply calls it a perfect knife with perfect service.
Care Instructions: G3 (Ginsan) is a stainless steel - low maintenance and resistant to corrosion. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher, bones, and frozen foods. Sharpen on quality water stones and strop regularly between full sharpenings.
