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 - Shirogami

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Shirogami (White) series steel is very popular steel among Japanese knife makers. Reasons behind its popularity include easy to sharpen and good edge retention. Special care must be taken as knives made with these steels are prone to rust.

About the Finish - Nashiji

Nashiji (梨子地) literally translates to pear-fruit-skin as the finish imitates the skin of an Asian pear. This finish is created by polishing away the dark oxides while retaining the rough texture. Some may say Nashiji is in the middle between Kurouchi and Migaki.
