The Gyuto is Japan’s answer to the western chef knife, in a country where the food culture has given birth to a myriad of highly specialised knives with specific jobs, the gyuto is an all round knife to cover all the bases. It was created in the latter part of the 19c after the son of a prominent Japanese blacksmith visited the west to investigate new knife making technologies, he returned with a few samples and a load of ideas and ever since then it has evolve into the hugely popular style we recognise today.
This particularly Gyuto is constructed with a VG10 stainless steel core, a lovely, delicate suminagashi cladding and dark lacquered wa style handle.
A note from the maker - ”Oishi! - That is what people in Japan say during or after having a delicious meal. With a different spelling and meaning but a similar sounding, Ohishi is also the name of the small village near the famous Mount Fuji, where our business was started. Finally and completing, Ohishi is the motto and brand name we have selected to build up and present our individual concept and understanding of a smart and fine-tuned knife set. Our idea was to help creating Oishi meals using Ohishi knives. We succeeded."
