The Moritaka 8.25″ Gyuto is a top-rated carbon steel kitchen knife, designed for chefs who demand the best Japanese knife. Its hand-forged Aogami Super blue steel blade offers exceptional sharpness and durability, making it an ideal choice for precision slicing and dicing. The walnut wood octagonal handle with a pakkawood ferrule provides a comfortable grip, while the razor-sharp 10-12° double-bevel edge ensures consistent performance. Crafted entirely by hand in Kumamoto, Japan, this high-quality chef knife stands out for its craftsmanship and cutting prowess.
Whether you’re a professional cook or a passionate home chef, knowing how to maintain your carbon steel knife is essential. Regular honing and proper cleaning will keep it in top shape and prevent rust. Remember, this knife is not stainless steel; caring for it correctly allows it to develop a beautiful patina over time, adding character and uniqueness to each piece.
