About the Shape - 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.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Knifewear and Tojiro to the rescue

"Knife arrived super fast! Only a couple days. Great price for quality. First time purchasing Tojiro brand, it has really impressed so far. 240 mm was a great choice for larger tasks at work like chopping large amount of herbs, rough chop mirepoix, dicing onions etc. It has become my new workhorse replacing my old Global that had been worn down. Great value and super sharp! Excited to make another Knifewear purchase soon!(Tojiro maybe again :) my one question is how to best keep the edge of VG-10 versus my old Mac and Globals. Time to research!"

— Katey S. (5/5)

Buy this Tojiro

"Had the Tojiro for a few weeks now. It came quite sharp out of the box but improved with a quick strop. Other reviews are accurate in that the knife lacks a bit of refinement. That changes with 15 minutes and some 600 grit wet dry sandpaper to the spine. The 240mm length is just what I was looking for compared to my Wustof classic 8” chef knife. Vg10 core takes a great edge and is easily sharpened although the cladding steel is soft and is easily scratched. So be careful with what you wipe it with when washing. I will buy another Tojiro."

— Bradley M. (5/5)

Fantastic beginner-level chef’s knife. Comfortable

"Fantastic beginner-level chef’s knife. Comfortable handle, sharp out of the box, and super easy to maintain. Was my first full-length chef’s knife, and was impressed by how maneuverable and light-weight the knife is as a whole. At a fantastic price point, hard to beat this line"

"Been using this knife for 3 months in a professional kitchen and very pleased with everything about this knife; comfortable in the hand and well balanced, nice blade profile for all types of cuts, has stayed sharp with regular light honing on white ceramic. Excellent value for money as far as I can tell."

Q&A

Would this knife be good as a "beater" knife? Ex. something that I could use for bones and other hard foods? Not sure how VG10 works for that. Would it be better to get the one with the plastic handle made out molybdenum vanadium?
Hi Jake, VG10 steel is still a pretty hard steel, so using it as a beater knife, specifically with harder things like frozen food and bones could very likely lead to damaging the knife. I find knives made with molybdenum vanadium are much less prone to chipping and instead will bend.
