Masahiro Virgin Carbon 8.25 in. (210mm) Gyuto
The Masahiro Virgin Carbon 210mm Gyuto is one of chef David's favorite knives. A reliable workhorse with scalpel like precision. The asymetrical shape of this knife drops through food with remarkable ease, pushing each slice cleanly from the blade. This blade size is an excellent choice for line cooks who don't have the space to accomodate a larger knife. This knife takes a beautiful edge that can be maintained between sharpenings with a quality honing steel. We highly recommend this knife, it is one of our most popular models (with good reason)!

Masahiro MV 8.25-inch (210mm) Gyuto
A Professional Workhorse That Values Performance Over Flash In a market often saturated with flashy Damascus patterns and fragile edges, the Masahiro MV 210mm (8.25 in.) Gyuto stands as a testament to practical Japanese engineering. This isn't a knife for the display case; it is a precision tool built for the heavy-duty demands of a professional kitchen. The core of this knife is the proprietary MBS-26 high-carbon stainless steel. Masahiro developed this alloy specifically to achieve a perfect balance: it is tough enough to resist chipping during high-speed vegetable prep, yet high enough in carbon (0.9%) to maintain a razor-sharp edge through cases of mirepoix. What truly sets the MV series apart is the 80/20 asymmetrical edge. While many knives use a 50/50 symmetrical grind, Masahiro uses a single-sided approach where the face side carries the primary taper. This allows the blade to glide through dense root vegetables with significantly less resistance, while the minimal bevel on the backside makes the edge incredibly easy to realign on a whetstone. Every knife is hand-sharpened by master blacksmiths in Seki City and verified using the Gifu Prefectural Research Institute's Honda-Type Paper Cutting Test—ensuring out-of-the-box sharpness that most manufacturers simply can't match. For the chef who needs a knife that is easy to maintain, resistant to rust, and comfortable for all-day use, the Masahiro MV is the industry's best-kept secret. Learn More$119.25 -
Glestain K Series 8.3-inch (210mm) Gyuto
The K Series 210mm gyuto has the same blade as the KE Series 721TK without the stainless end cap. Removing the cap makes the knife lighter and moves the balance toward the blade, and it is the less expensive way to own a 210mm Glestain.I actually prefer a knife to be a bit blade heavy. While many chefs consider the balance of a knife in their hand, I prefer to think of it as how the knife feels when I’m cutting. A slightly blade heavy knife feels perfectly balanced when I start applying pressure to the food being cut. Since I can’t juggle, and this isn’t a throwing knife, the balance in my hand means very little to me, and I prefer this knife.The dimples release slices of onion, potato and cucumber, and the asymmetrical grind keeps each cut moving cleanly into the next.This is a knife that suits home cooks and line cooks equally, and one that rarely comes back to us after purchase.
Choosing a 210mm GlestainFor more heft at the hand, choose the KE Series 210mm Gyuto. The SO Series 210mm Gyuto is lighter still, with no bolster, and the Ice Handle 210mm Gyuto has a stainless handle. Left-handed cooks can choose the K Series 210mm Left-Handed Gyuto. See our guide to kitchen knife shapes for more on the gyuto. Learn More$181.00 -
Glestain KE Series 8.3-inch (210mm) Gyuto
A 210mm gyuto is the length that fits a home cutting board and a crowded line station alike. This KE Series model gives that length the full Glestain treatment, with a bolster and a stainless end cap that add weight at the back of the handle.On the board, the dimpled face is what you notice first. Diced potato, sliced zucchini and rounds of carrot drop away from the blade instead of riding up it, so the knife stays clear between strokes. The asymmetrical grind pushes each slice off the blade, which makes fast, repetitive cuts cleaner and more consistent.The 210mm gyuto is the most popular size for home and line cook use. Fast, efficient and resilient, this knife holds up to tough use. The end cap is a matter of preference at this length. It moves the balance toward the hand, which some cooks like for control during fine work. Others prefer the lighter, slightly blade-forward feel of the K Series knife, which has the same blade without the cap.
Choosing a 210mm GlestainCompare this knife with the K Series 210mm Gyuto (bolster, no end cap), the SO Series 210mm Gyuto (no bolster) and the Ice Handle 210mm Gyuto (stainless handle). Left-handed cooks can choose the KE Series 210mm Left-Handed Gyuto. For a longer blade, see the KE Series 240mm Gyuto, and for help with chef’s knife shapes, see our kitchen knife shapes guide.

Glestain KE Series 9.4-inch (240mm) Gyuto
The 240mm KE Series gyuto is the Glestain chef’s knife for long sessions at the board. Its blade is long enough to slice across a cabbage or a boneless pork loin in one stroke, and the bolster and stainless end cap make it one of the heftiest knives in the line, so the weight of the knife does part of the work on dense produce.Two features set every Glestain apart from a conventional chef’s knife. The deep dimples on the face of the blade break the suction that holds slices of potato, apple or cucumber against the steel, so cut food falls away and you spend less time clearing the blade. The blade is also asymmetrical, shaped more like a right triangle than an even wedge, which pushes each slice away from the knife as it cuts.Both home cooks and professional kitchens buy this knife from us, and Glestain knives are seldom returned. In our experience the end cap’s added weight suits a 240mm blade well, balancing the extra length toward the hand.The steel holds an edge well and is easy to maintain. It isn’t brittle and can be quickly brought back with a honing rod. This knife improves the quality and consistency of your cuts. It produces clean, repeatable results with less effort, which becomes clear with regular use. If you are actively developing your technique, it is still important to practice with other knives as well, so you don’t develop bad habits.
Other Lengths and HandlesThe same blade without the end cap is a lighter knife; see the SO Series 240mm Gyuto, which has no bolster at all, or the all-metal Ice Handle 240mm Gyuto. For a shorter knife, the KE Series 210mm Gyuto is the same design. Left-handed cooks should choose the 240mm Left-Handed Gyuto.
