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.

About Shizu Gen - Shizu Hamono is a relatively “new” knife maker, established in 1960 in Seki by the Shizu family. Producing a stable Kuro-uchi finish on stainless steel was challenging, so they tackled it head-on with the goal of producing “Real Kuro-uchi”(meaning no coats or dyes) knives to achieve high performance with classic beauty and ease of care. After 29 months of research and development, they finally found the technique to create a real kuro-uchi finish on stainless steel.

VG10 Stainless steel makes these knives super sharp, reliable, and easy to care for while the pakkawood handles are elegant and rugged.

Q&A

I've had a 270mm Misono Swedish as my workhorse for around a decade but it's time to get a new knife. How do these compare? Do you have any other suggestions? I'd like to stay under $300
Great question! These will have smilar edge retention and durability, but likely feel a but sharper. They're a great choice! I also really like this guy: https://knifewear.mom/products/haruyuki-kokuto-gyuto-240mm?variant=30206791254064
