Glestain Knives
Glestain Knives are instantly recognizable by the rectangular scallops running down one side of the blade. This design of a Glestain knife is not only beautiful, but extremely functional. As you'll see in the demonstration video; this is the only design that truly works to keep starchy foods, like potatoes and cheese, from clinging to the blade this greatly increases speed when dicing and chopping. Glestain's proprietary Acuto stainless steel holds a razor sharp edge and is very easy to resharpen. It is a Molybdenum Vanadium steel set to a rockwell hardness of 58/59. Glestain knives are in a class of their own; you will not be disappointed with its superior performance.

Glestain 8.25 in. (210mm) Gyuto without End Cap
The Glestain 8.25 in. (210mm)Gyuto does not have a steel butt plate as do the other Glestain gyutos. This changes the balance to make it more blade heavy, but also brings the cost down considerably. This knife is exactly the same in all other aspects. 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. Learn More$181.00 -
Glestain 8.25 in. (210mm) Left Handed Gyuto Without End Cap
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. Learn More$198.00 -
