The Takayuki Grand Chef 210mm
gyuto is the most popular size length for a classic gyuto. It is a preferred size for most tasks. The edge grinds on these knives are stellar and we really like the overall fit and finish of the package.
The blade is made with top-quality Bohler N690 stainless steel. Takayuki sources this steel from the Swedish Uddeholm factory. The quality iron used to make Bohler N690 stainless steel is excavated from the Uddeholm company mines and contains an extremely low amount of phosphorus and sulfur, resulting in a steel that is regarded to be one of the finest in the world. Takayuki hardens the steel to about 60 HRC. Because it is a mono steel blade there is no cladding of other steels, which means that you have a knife with superior stainless properties which translates to an ease of maintenance that many chefs appreciate.
