Kikuichi WTC Warikomi Tsuchime Carbon 7-inch (180mm) Gyuto
Kikuichi WTC Warikomi Tsuchime Carbon 180mm Gyuto The Kikuichi WTC 180mm Gyuto is a compact Japanese chef’s knife for cooks who value a keen carbon steel edge and are willing to give it the care it requires. At 180 mm, it is nimble enough for detailed prep and tight line stations, yet it has enough belly for rocking cuts through herbs and aromatics. It handles vegetables, fruit and boneless proteins with equal precision. Features Shirogami #2 carbon steel core: White #2 is a high-purity carbon steel that takes an exceptionally fine edge and responds quickly to ceramic honing rods and fine waterstones. It is not stainless. Warikomi construction with Damascus cladding: The hard core is laminated between layers of Damascus steel. The cladding supports the brittle core, and the core alone forms the cutting edge. Tsuchime hammered finish: The hand-hammered dimples on the blade face create small air pockets that help release starchy foods such as potatoes and cucumbers. Double-bevel edge: The symmetrical edge cuts straight and suits right- and left-handed cooks alike. Octagonal oak wa-handle: The light, faceted handle places the balance toward the blade and indexes securely in the hand. Choosing a Kikuichi Carbon Gyuto Cooks who prefer a Western-style handle should consider the Kikuichi Carbon Elite 180mm Gyuto, a single-steel SK-4 carbon blade of the same length with a resin-infused pakkawood handle. The WTC Gyuto’s harder White #2 core and Damascus cladding suit cooks who want a finer edge and a traditional Japanese handle. Learn More$320.00 -

Shun Premier 7-inch Gyuto Knife
The Shun Premier 7-inch Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent of the classic Western chef's knife, designed as a versatile, all-purpose tool for any kitchen. The name "Gyuto" translates to "beef sword," but its capabilities extend to nearly every type of food preparation, from slicing fish and poultry to chopping vegetables. Compared to a traditional Western chef's knife, the Gyuto often features a slightly thinner blade and is typically lighter, making it feel exceptionally agile and precise in the hand. The blade has a gentle curve, or "belly," that allows it to be smoothly rocked for mincing herbs, while the pointed tip is perfect for detail work. The hand-hammered finish reduces drag and helps food release from the blade. This 7-inch version is a perfect mid-size option, offering great control without the length of a larger blade. This knife is particularly well-suited for tasks such as: Slicing: Making clean cuts through boneless meats, poultry, and fish. Dicing: Preparing uniform cuts of onions, celery, and other vegetables. Mincing: Using a rocking motion to finely chop garlic, ginger, and fresh herbs. Chopping: Handling a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Detail Work: Using the sharp tip for tasks like scoring meat. Learn MoreRegular Price: $209.95
