Product Information

This grip has the user pinching the flat side of the blade just over the bolster, giving the user better control and balance.

This knife has a razor sharp, cutting edge and it has a high quality hardwood handle which is secured with brass rivets. The sharp tip is particularly helpful when cutting around bones, and the fun handle colors are beautiful and great for personalizing. Gyutos generally have thinner blades with flatter belly curves than German knives, and they taper to a very sharp tip. To make sure this review took into account another opinion, I asked Sohla El-Waylly to use all the knives also; she's shorter than me and has smaller hands, plus she's right-handed.The knife edge stays sharper longer than traditional knives due to the Molybdenum Stainless Steel blade and the balance is made to feel comfortable and causes no fatigue or discomfort. The long, sharp blade of a chef's knife allows for all sorts of cutting tasks, so you can slice a steak, chop a cucumber, dice an onion or mince some herbs. My go-to knife is a 10,5-inch chef’s knife/Gyuto at the restaurant but at home, I only use 7 to 8 inches. Good edge retention relies on a combination of steel composition and hardness, blade thickness, and bevel angle.

We found a tiny, almost microscopic nick in the Tojiro knife’s blade after cutting butternut squash. It's balance point is ideal for a pinch grip, laying between the start of the logo and the start of the handle.Don’t use anything abrasive on the blade, such as a Brillo pad or a scouring sponge, which can make little scratches in the metal.

The Hast Edition 8” Chef’s Knife scores 36% above CATRA's Excellent sharpness standard, making it a truly world-class tool.German knives generally weigh more and have thicker blades than their Japanese counterparts; this makes them fit for tough jobs like breaking lobsters and splitting bone-in chicken breasts.
