TOJIRO Hammered | 7" Chef Knife (Gyuto) | F-1114

This knife is a great gateway into the world of Japanese knives. It is a great knife for both professional and home cooks.  It combines great materials, high levels of construction, a beautiful design and an affordable price. 

If there is ONE knife you should have, it is the Chef knife... and this Gyuto is unique, not only because it is hand-crafted but because it just stands out.

While it looks delicate, this knife is made using VG10 steel, which has a high chromium content, so it holds an edge well, is easy to sharpen and requires little maintenance. 

The hammered blade isn't just for aesthetics: The divots allow air to flow during use, so foods fall clean off the blade rather than sticking. The D-shape traditional Japanese wood handle provides balance and fits comfortably in your hand.

Every tojiro knife is meticulously hand finished by a artisan craftsmen.
