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 #1

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Shirogami (White) Steel No. 1 is a very popular steel among Japanese knife makers. The steel has a slightly more carbon than the more common Shirogami #2 which makes it a bit harder. Special care must be taken as knives made with this steel is prone to rust.

About the Finish - Kasumi

Kasumi (霞) means "mist" and refers to the hazy appearance of the soft steel/iron cladding, in contrast to the fine polished cutting edge.

About the Finish - Migaki

Migaki (磨き) means polished but not necessarily as finely polished like a mirror finish. The finish gives knives a minimalist and elegant look though the degree of polishing varies from one blacksmith to the next.

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.
