They are the ideal all-purpose kitchen knives and can be used for most tasks. Japanese gyutou are typically lighter and thinner than a European knife, are made out of a harder steel and as a result, hold a better edge. The design features nothing to obstructing the edge of the handle end of the blade, so it can be sharpened and thus used entirely. The word gyutou in Japanese means ‘beef knife’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"50%\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"50%\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEbony Wa-handle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e210 mm (8.2\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThickness at spine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThickness at tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardness (Rockwell scale)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdge \/ Bevel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble (50\/50)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade height heel to spine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eUse \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandwash in warm water and towel dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not cut frozen foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a sharpening stone, not a honing steel, to re-sharpen your \u003ca title=\"Japanese chef knives\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chuboknives.com\/\"\u003eJapanese chef knives\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chubo Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42739923910754,"sku":"KAZ-ARG210","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/1581\/files\/KazanArareshibatag210.jpg?v=1777252692","url":"https:\/\/www.chuboknives.com\/products\/kazan-arare-by-shibata-gyutou-210mm","provider":"Chubo Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
