Kikuichi GC Series Carbon Steel 7.1-inch (180mm) Gyuto
Kikuichi’s 7.1-inch (180mm) GC Series gyuto is a compact carbon steel chef’s knife, nimble enough for quick work and short enough for a small cutting board or a crowded apartment kitchen. It handles the everyday jobs of a larger gyuto, such as slicing shallots, dicing peppers and portioning chicken, with more control at the tip.Kikuichi says a carbon steel gyuto has been trusted by chefs for nearly a millennium, and this line keeps that tradition with a blade that takes a keen edge and sharpens easily. Expect a patina to form with use. It is a sound choice for a cook with smaller hands, and it also works as a second gyuto beside a 240mm on a professional station, where its short blade is easier to steer through garnish work.
180mm or 210mm?The 8.25-inch (210mm) Gyuto is closer to a standard chef’s knife length. For a flatter profile at this size, see the 7.1-inch (180mm) Santoku. Learn More$119.95 -
Miyabi Kaizen 8-Inch Chef's Knife 3-Piece Starter Set
Precision Meets Preparation: The Ultimate Miyabi Kaizen Starter Experience The Path of Continuous Improvement in Your Kitchen In the world of professional Japanese cutlery, 'Kaizen' represents the philosophy of continuous improvement. The Miyabi Kaizen 8-inch Chef’s Knife embodies this spirit, blending traditional Seki craftsmanship with modern metallurgical excellence. At the heart of this blade is a VG10 'Super Steel' core, protected by a stunning 64-layer Damascus pattern. This isn't just a tool; it is a surgical instrument designed for the home chef who demands the same precision as a Michelin-starred professional. Why This Specific Starter Set? Most 'starter sets' provide a range of knives you'll rarely use. At Knife Merchant, we curated this bundle to focus on the essential 8-inch Chef Knife (SKU 1001996)—the undisputed workhorse of the kitchen. Because this blade features a high Rockwell Hardness of 60, standard steel honing rods can actually damage the edge. That is why we have included the Master Grade 11-inch White Ceramic Rod (ST-3700). This rod is hard enough to realign the VG10 edge without stripping away the steel, ensuring your Miyabi remains razor-sharp for years. Professional Mobility and Protection Completing the set is our signature Knife Merchant 8-Slot Knife Bag (KM-Knife Bag). Whether you are a culinary student heading to class or a home enthusiast who values organization, this bag provides the protection a high-end Japanese blade requires. With eight slots, it offers the perfect foundation to grow your collection as your skills evolve. When you invest in Miyabi Kaizen, you aren't just buying a knife; you are committing to a higher standard of culinary execution. Learn More -
