If you only buy one knife, make it a great chef knife. This Damascus gyuto, with its bold red handle and raindrop pattern, is the everyday workhorse that handles almost everything.
The All-Purpose Gyuto
The gyuto is the Japanese chef's knife, with a curved edge that rocks, chops, and slices through nearly any ingredient. This blade is forged from layered Damascus steel with a raindrop-style pattern and a clean, lasting edge.
Bold Red Pakka Wood Handle
The handle is bright red pakka wood with brass pins, a confident look that pairs well with the patterned steel. Pakka wood resists moisture and grips securely, so the knife stays controlled through busy prep.
A Knife for Daily Cooking
The full-tang build keeps the gyuto balanced and strong. With simple care, hand washing, drying, and the occasional light oiling, it stays sharp and ready for years of everyday use.
