Suncraft Senzo Clad 9.4-inch (240mm) Gyuto

The 9.4-inch gyuto is the longest chef’s knife in the Senzo Clad series, made for large boards and big prep lists. Halving a head of cabbage or slicing a roast takes fewer strokes with this much edge, and the long, gently curved blade rocks smoothly through herbs.

Professional cooks who work a long station and home cooks who batch-cook for the week will appreciate the reach. Because the AUS10 center layer is hard and the cladding is tougher, the long blade holds a keen edge without feeling brittle, and it responds well to honing, so it is easy to keep sharp. A pakkawood handle and steel bolster balance the extra length, and the clad wave pattern near the edge gives the knife a distinctly Japanese look. Cooks with large hands may find this length more comfortable than a standard gyuto.


A Shorter Gyuto

The 8.3-inch Gyuto is easier to control on a small board.
