Roselli R770 Gyuto Knife

The R770 features a slender, Japanese-inspired profile designed specifically for precision tasks like paper-thin slicing and detailed dicing. Its ultra-high carbon steel blade is hardened to 62 HRC, offering a level of edge retention and sharpness that exceeds most mass-produced kitchen knives.

Yes. Because it is made from high-carbon steel, the blade is prone to oxidation if left wet. You should hand wash and dry the knife immediately after every use and occasionally apply a food-safe oil to the blade to prevent rust.

The curly birch handle is treated with linseed oil, which provides a natural, water-resistant finish. It offers a warm, ergonomic grip that remains secure even when your hands are slightly damp, though it should never be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher.

The handcrafted leather sheath is excellent for protecting the blade edge while stored in a drawer or during transport. However, ensure the knife is completely clean and dry before sheathing it to prevent moisture from being trapped against the carbon steel.

Given the high hardness of 62 HRC, this blade holds an edge exceptionally well but requires a bit more patience during sharpening. We recommend using high-quality whetstones and maintaining a consistent angle to preserve the knife's geometry.
