Touroku Sakai Gekka Gyuto 200mm
About Touroku Sakai - Unlike so many region-specific knifemakers, Toroku Sakai works with craftspeople from all across Japan. They find the best of the best in every region and bring them together to craft some truly exceptional blades. Like a talented music producer, they match folks and skillsets that complement each other perfectly.
Man, this knife feels so good to handle; perfectly balanced, as all things should be. A little extra steel in the handle gives it more weight than the average Japanese-style handle, but less so than the classic riveted, full-tang handle. The blade is thin and razor sharp, but relatively rugged and low maintenance, thanks to it being made from VG10 stainless steel.
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.
