This great looking gyuto is made from the ever popular VG-10 stainless steel. VG-10 is sometimes called V-Gold 10 and it is arguably the most commonly used stainless steel in the Japanese kitchen knife industry. There are several reasons for this, primary among them are its exceptional stain resistance and its ability to take a very sharp edge. Some VG-10 knives can be harder to sharpen than other steels but the smiths at Takayuki have developed a special tempering technique which results in a hardness of 60 HRC while being much easier to sharpen.
For many home cooks the 210mm gyuto is the number one choice, the most valuable tool in their kitchen. This is the knife that you can reach for time after time, task after task. With this blade length these chef’s knives are a perfect tool in any kitchen. They can tackle just about any cutting or chopping task. The edge length comes in at 215mm and combined with the slightly shorter height of 45mm results in a slim blade that resembles a classic French profile knife. It is double sided, so it is useful to right- and left-handed users.
This is a great looking knife that is a breeze to maintain, performs like a champ, and comes at a really affordable price.Brand: Takayuki

Returned to this storefront to see what else was in stock by Takayuki. This knife really accelerated my home cooking and made the process much more intimate. I don't have a problem with any German steel knives, but for the price of a smaller handmade production line, Takayuki (I've been using their VG10, like this 210mm) has been a no brainer and will serve my home kitchen for decades to come.
Thanks for the incredible offer, CKTG.

Im a young cook, the knifes we have are pretty crappy (from a $20 block set, 11 knifes and some other standard crap). I wanted a knife of my own and came to this one right here as my final choice. Its treated me pretty well over the last 2 weeks, ive been using it for all kinds of things from onions to mushrooms to mincing some bacon and i dont really have any complaints to speak of.
