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 - Kurouchi

Kurouchi (黒打ち) refers to the darkened steel surface as a result from the forging process which forms a coating of oxide. It is the most rusting finish of all but gives knives a traditional character.

About the Finish - Tsuchime

Tsuchime (槌目) refers to a hammered finish. This could be a result from the forging process or be added/hand-hammered by the blacksmith to create an indented and unique finish.
