Handcrafted with centuries-old swordsmith precision by highly skilled Japanese artisans, the Elite Carbon 270mm Gyuto accommodates left- and right-handed users. Softer carbon SK-5 steel is a feature you will love at home or at work for its ease of use in slicing meats, vegetables, and fruits of almost any type. The full-length edge from tip to heel is also easier to sharpen before or after every use. This is a large knife but it may well become your most used blade with its multipurpose capabilities.
The black pakka wood Western-style handle is triple riveted with a stainless steel bolster. This creates a perfect balance that will feel just right in any size grip.
Kikuichi Elite Carbon knives are made of a mono steel soft carbon construction and can react to acids, developing some staining without some care. Over time they will slowly develop a grayish patina. Careful washing and thoroughly drying the blade after any cutting or chopping task will help prevent oxidation development. The Kikuichi 270mm Elite Gyuto is a knife with a nimble feel, classic beauty, and a fine edge profile that makes smoother cuts with less effort. This is a big knife for big jobs but one that will also find pride of place in most professional or home kitchens where size and speed matter.Weight: 9.6 oz (274 g)
Edge Length: 274 mm
Total Length: 410 mm

I am a professional chef of 20 years in high end kitchens. I have been looking for a new knife and I came across this one and wanted to tell you a little about it. I purchased this knife over 14 years ago to use as a cook then as a chef. I can tell you without a doubt that this knife is well worth it. I have used this knife every day for 14 years and it has been a true friend in the kitchen to me. It will hold a strong edge for a long time, easy to sharpen and the size and tip make it the most versatile knife you will ever use. If you have doubts about this knife; rest assured they are unfounded
