9" Gyuto forged from 80CRV2 carbon steel. Edge geometry is ground full flat, and is very thin behind the edge. This Gyuto is a workhorse and is well suited to chopping and slicing ingredients of all sizes, but should never be used around bones. Stonewash finish on the blade paired with a handle shaped from Spalted Maple harvested from the woods of Pennsylvania. Suitable for all hand sizes. Ships with saya made from Poplar.
