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 Steel - Ginsan

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Ginsan (Silver #3) is a carbon steel and what makes it special is that it is stainless at the same time. Ginsan is easy to sharpen and has a hardness similar to the Shirogami steels, making it ideal for users who want an easy to maintain steel.
