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 - Aogami #2

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Aogami (Blue) No. 2 steel is a high-carbon steel. The steel has a very high hardness therefore long edge retention. Special care must be taken as knives made with the Aogami Steel No. 2 is prone to rust.
