The Takayuki knife company has been in existence in one form or another for 600 years. That experience has morphed into a new company intent on combining new technologies and methods with this ancient art.
The 180mm gyuto is about the shortest available length for a classic gyuto. It is a preferred size for smaller hands or restricted board areas. 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.
