What Each Piece Does Kikuichi Carbon Elite 210mm Gyuto: The Japanese chef’s knife handles most prep on the station, from dicing vegetables to trimming and slicing proteins. Its SK-4 high-carbon steel takes a keen edge and is easy to restore on a waterstone, and its thin profile moves through dense produce without wedging. F. Dick EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel: A few light strokes before and during service realign the edge as it rolls with use, so the gyuto cuts cleanly for longer between sharpenings. Knife Merchant 8-Slot Knife Bag: Separate slots keep the edges from contacting one another in transit, with room to add knives as the kit grows. Building the Kit A parer is the most common second knife. The Kikuichi Carbon Elite 120mm Parer and the Carbon Elite 150mm Petty match the gyuto in steel and handle.
