Seido "Niji" VG10W Rainbow Damascus Gyuto 210mm
The Gyuto is the Japanese version of the traditional western Chefs Knife. The word Gyuto roughly translates to “Cow knife”, and this all rounder will do all of your main kitchen jobs. A Gyuto excels with veg, fish or boneless proteins so will be your go-to in the kitchen. Go-to even sounds a bit like Gyuto, right?
A closer look: VG10 is one of the most popular stainless steels for Japanese knives, loved for its sharp edge, good edge retention and strong rust resistance, which makes it a forgiving choice if you’re stepping up from a Western knife. At 61 HRC it holds its edge through plenty of prep, and at 210mm the blade is long enough for big jobs but still nimble. The octagonal Pakkawood handle is smooth, durable and comfortable. Easy to look after: hand wash, dry, and it’s ready to go.
