Minamoto 33 Layers VG10 Gyuto

Minamoto est basé à Seki City et est surtout connu au Japon pour ses couteaux d’excellente qualité à des prix raisonnables. Ce couteau est en acier inoxydable VG-10 plaqué en damas inoxydable avec des manches occidentaux très confortables en bois de pakka noir. L’affûtage du tranchant est l’un des plus fins et d’une excellente finesse.

GYUTO (Gyu – cow & To – sword):

This is the Japanese interpretation of a Western Chef’s knife. It is flat from the handle end for about 1/3rd of the edge and then curves to the tip. It is ideal for the Western style of roll cutting.

Function – Multipurpose chef knife. For Slicing, Dicing, Mincing, Filleting and Chopping of meat, fish and vegetables.

Normal length – 180mm to 300mm.

Tip: With the edge flat for about 1/3rd of the blade – 210 mm or longer the knife-edge profile is the same as a 180mm Santoku from the handle to tip and the same as a 180mm Gyuto from the tip to handle – so essentially a 180mm Gyuto & 180mm Santoku in one knife. The 210mm is the most favoured size for most chefs.
