What to know before you buy

About this knife

  • Gyuto knives of this 240mm length are long: best on a large board with room to work.
  • Handle: not stated by the store.
  • R2/SG2 is a stainless steel, which resists rust better than carbon steel.

Limits to know

  • Like any hard Japanese blade, keep it off bones, frozen food and glass or stone boards.

Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.

Good to know for beginners

A gyuto is the Japanese chef's knife: one blade for nearly every job, with a gentle curve for rocking and a fine tip for detail work. R2/SG2 is stainless: it won't rust in normal use, so it is the easy choice for everyday cooking.
