What to know before you buy

About this knife

  • Gyuto knives of this 178mm length are a mid size that suits smaller boards and kitchens.
  • It has a Western-style (yo) handle, the kind most cooks outside Japan are used to.
  • R2/SG2 is a stainless steel, which resists rust better than carbon steel.
  • It is double-bevel (sharpened on both sides), so it works for left- and right-handed cooks.

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 resists rust better than carbon steel, which makes it an easy choice for everyday cooking. The Western handle has the familiar heft and grip of a European chef's knife.
