Misono Swedish Carbon Steel Gyuto

Misono's Gyutou knives are crafted from the highest grade Swedish carbon steel, considered one of the purest forms of carbon steel. These knives are hand-forged by skilled professionals in Sakai city, Japan, who carefully hammer the carbon steel sheets to strengthen the steel, just as in the traditional Japanese knife-making process. This meticulously crafted line of knives is adorned with an elegant dragon engraving on the face of the chef's knives and slicers in the Swedish Carbon series.

Unlike stainless steel knives, these carbon steel blades are not stain-resistant, but they are razor-sharp and require proper care and maintenance from their owners. The gyutou, a versatile chef's knife, can be used for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables, making it a suitable tool for preparing Western cuisine. Lightweight and thin, Japanese chef's knives like the Misono Gyutou have a sharper blade and maintain their sharpness longer than many other chef's knives on the market.

The Misono Gyutou features a 70:30 asymmetrical bevel, which concentrates the sharpening on the face of the blade at a steeper angle than on the back. This creates a thin cutting edge that approaches the sharpness of a traditional Japanese single-edged design. The available sizes for the Misono Gyutou range from 8.2 inches to 10.5 inches, with the 8.2-inch model not offering the dragon design.

The Misono Gyutou is a high-quality, hand-forged chef's knife made from the finest Swedish carbon steel. Its razor-sharp edge, versatility, and exceptional craftsmanship make it a prized tool for professional and home chefs alike. However, it is important to note that the carbon steel construction requires proper care and maintenance to prevent staining and keep the blade in peak condition.
