ICHIGO Haku Gyuto 210mm

About ICHIGO ICHIE - As a knife brand, Ichigo Ichie has two halves: Ichigo, meaning lifetime, and Ichie, one-time encounter. Ichigo are knives that we expect will stick around for years, that you can slowly build a set from or return to favourites to get gifts for loved ones. Ichie are knives that we love dearly, but may not stick around in our shops forever. Like a bag of excellent tea or a fine bottle of whiskey, we’ll savour them while they’re around.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a million more times: I LOVE flashy, thin, light knives made from super high-performance steel. This is my dream blade. The very best knives make you want to spend hours chopping vegetables, and I could cut with this one all. Day. Long. What’s more, they’ve paired the feather-light blade with a light wooden ‘wa’ (Japanese) handle, so the whole thing is effortless to wield. Tens across the board!

About the Shape - Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, Gyutos are a multi purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. “Gyuto” translates to “cow sword.” If you want one knife to do it all, This is it. Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.
