While the Hosokawas enjoy working with traditional high carbon steel, they recognize that many folks would prefer a high-performance blade that won't rust easily. This drove them to seek out steel that would offer the best of both worlds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHAP40 and ZDP189 steels are extremely unconventional in the world of blacksmithing, yet both are considered to be 'super steels'. Both are extremely hard, to the point that most blacksmiths can't even forge with them. The Hosokawas are exceptional for their ability to work with these unusual materials, and the superhuman perseverance it took to master forging them paid off: the hardness and ‘wear resistance’ of these steels allow kitchen knives made from them to retain their edge longer than any other line I’ve seen. While this also makes them more challenging to sharpen, their mind-blowing performance is well worth it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Shape -\u003c\/b\u003e Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, Gyutos are a multi purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. “Gyuto” translates to “cow sword.” If you want one knife to do it all, This is it. Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.\n","brand":"Gihei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41698518287,"sku":"GIHHAPMICH210GY","price":346.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/GiheiHAP40KazahanaGyuto210mm1_12c72987-1012-4c2d-b75d-a039aed79243.jpg?v=1778093750","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.com\/en-gb\/products\/gihei-hap40-kazahana-gyuto-210mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
