About the Shape - Gyuto

The Gyuto (牛刀) is a type of Japanese kitchen knife that has a double-bevel blade, meaning it is sharpened on both sides. It is similar to the western-style chef’s knife, but it is usually thinner, lighter, and sharper. The name Gyuto means “cow sword” in Japanese, because it was originally used for slicing beef.

About the Finish - Damascus

Damascus or "Modern Damascus" finish refers to the watery or wavy light and dark pattern of the metal. Suminagashi (墨流し) which literally translates to "floating ink" is another word used for the finish.
