Japanese Kitchen Knife Chestnut Handle - Gyuto

Beautiful new range of knives from Tadafusa, third generation knife makers in Sanjo, Niigata. Hand-forged, triple layered blades of rust-resistant SLD steel (HRC of 60) stay sharp longer, while the heat-treated chestnut handles resist moisture and bacteria. Beautifully presented in bespoke cardboard packaging, these stunning knives make a great gift.

Commons mistakes to avoid:

• Leaving wooden handled knives to soak in water.
• Washing knives in the dishwasher.
• Not storing them carefully: store them individually, not jumbled up with other cutlery.
• Cutting into bone. If you’re not sure whether there’s bone, or you know there to be bone present, go very slowly and carefully, or consider using a different knife.
• Trying to cut frozen foods.
• Cutting down too hard on to the wrong sort of surface, for example kitchen worktops.
