About the Maker - Sugimoto Hamono

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 - Molybdenum

Molybdenum refers to steel that is alloyed with molybdenum (Mo), which increases the strength of the steel at high temperatures, making it more resistant to wear and tear. It also improves the grain structure of the steel, which enhances its resistance to corrosion. This makes molybdenum steel a popular choice for kitchen knives, as these properties are highly beneficial for a tool that is frequently used and exposed to various elements.
