About the Shape - Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, gyutos are a multi-purpose Japanese knife with a slight meat cutting bias and “gyuto” even translates to “cow sword”. If you want one knife to do it all, This is it. The longer blade typically gives the blade a forward balance that allows it to work for you. While the blade would ideally be slid forward or back while cutting, they are also great for folks that prefer to 'rock' their knife while cutting.
About Hatsukokoro - Hatsukokoro works with a wide variety of artisans in their local area, from blacksmiths to knife sharpeners and handle makers. By working with folks who have mastered their craft, each aspect of the knife is carefully curated.
