The gyutou is a versatile chef's knife. It can be used for cutting meat, fish and vegetables, making it suitable for preparing Western cuisine. Lightweight and thin, Japanese chef knives have a sharper blade and maintain their sharpness longer than most other chef knives.
The petty is a smaller chef knife that makes it a convenient size for peeling and other delicate work.
Left-handed knives are available for this style. Please call customer service at 1-800-626-2172 to order.
Improper care will result in rusting and chipping.
Please wipe knives dry after use to prevent rusting.
Western style knives sold at KORIN have significantly thinner blades than typical Western knives. Use of honing steels or sharpening machines may result in chipping.
We advice all customers to always use sharpening stones to sharpen or hone knives.
