TLDR ⓘ - Too long; didn't read - A quick summary that cuts to the chase.
Who isn’t it for? A phenomenal gift knife, an incredible knife for home, and great for professionals too! Easy to sharpen and care for.

Frustrated? Learn more about why Japanese knives are frequently out of stock.

The Haruyuki Kokuto is forged from a modern high-tech stainless steel called Ginsan, which was specially designed to cut much like traditional Japanese high-carbon steel without being a rusty pain in the butt! You get the joy of cutting with a traditional Japanese knife but none of the fussy maintenance. Truly, the best of both worlds.

The lighter Japanese ‘wa handle’ gives the knife a forward balance that allows it to fall through food effortlessly and do more of the work for you, which I absolutely love. Combined with a rustic ‘nashiji’ finish that looks like the skin of an Asian pear, it’s a traditionally elegant blade.

Haruyuki knives are made in a way that combines ancient Japanese tradition with efficient modern technology: blades are forged by machine for unparalleled precision, consistency, and affordability. Skilled artisans complete each step lovingly, from polishing and sharpening the blade to affixing its handle. The resulting knives have the feel and aesthetics of a traditional handmade knife while being more accessible to young cooks and folks starting their knife collection.

 

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.

Nice Knife

"First off the knife looks amazing and is easy to maintain. Cuts effortlessly though food. My one gripe with this knife is that I found food to stick a lot while using this knife. Other than that I'd highly recommend"

Great Store and Great Knife

"I went in looking for my first good chefs knife/gyuto. I have been using an entry level German blade that a roommate left behind 15+ years ago. I was pretty sure I wanted a western handle, a 210 blade length, and a hammered finish. I had a great discussion with one of the sales people there and eventually settled on this 240 gyuto with a Japanese handle. I ended up liking the balance the Japanese handle gave the knife, I loved the fit and finish of this knife and I was offered an early Black Friday discount on the 240 mm that I couldn’t refuse. This may not be a laser of a Japanese knife but it still cuts/slices beautifully and I don’t have to baby it. I find you quickly get used to the Japanese handle and balance of the blade. The 240 length I am still getting used to, or at least still being careful with since that has taken me a bit to get used to. I do find the additional length very handy though and do not for a second regret it."

Haruyuki Kokuto Gyuto 240mm - big knife

"Very well constructed, very light and comfortable in the hand. First couple of times using it was a bit scary due to the size but got used to it very quickly. This knife cuts through thick raw carrot with aplomb, can fine slice mushrooms without accordion and finely chop herbs without crushing them. Took me about week to get used it, now I pull out my old chefs knife, laugh at it, and put it away. Very happy with purchase and got it on sale with their 240mm Gyuto sale last month. Can't wait to get a a few more styles form the Haruyuki line!"

What a great knife!!!!

"This is my first Japanese knife. My current knives are all German made. This knife is amazing! I order it from the website during their 240 mm Gyuto sale. It arrived ahead of schedule with no hassles. First, the packaging looked great. I appreciated the note from Knifewear inside the box too. This knife is beautiful in person. The fit and finish is top notch. The handle is very comfortable and the slight weight bias towards the blade allows the knife to slice and chop effortlessly. It was extremely sharp right out of the box. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase!"
