The Glestain 8.25 in. (210mm) Left Handed Gyuto will change the way you cut. Food glides from the blade with ease, which improves your speed and the quality of your cuts. This knife is truly a game changer - we recommend it to any working cook or serious home cook.
Glestain Gyutos are available with an end cap and bolster (in the KE Series), without an end cap or bolster (in the SO Series) and with a bolster, but no end cap (as with this model). The bolster is a tapered peice of steel that connects the choyle of the blade to the handle. It improves the appearance of the knife and makes it more comfortable to use and to hold. The end cap adds heft to the knife which can be desireable for those who like a heavier knife, but it also changes the balance and the weight distribution of the blade. In a 240mm Gyuto I like the added weight at the end of the handle. When it comes to the 210mm size I prefer this model, the K Series Gyuto.
