Kyoku Koi Series Gyuto Chef Knife

The koi-scale surface treatment is designed to create small air pockets between the blade and the food. This helps reduce friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the knife while you chop.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the high-carbon steel edge and the natural olive wood handle, you should always hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use.

The blade features an ultra-sharp V-grind edge honed to a precise 10-14 degree angle on each side. This acute angle allows for exceptionally clean, effortless cuts across a variety of ingredients.

Full-tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand during heavy-duty tasks.

Because the handle is made of natural olive wood, it is best to avoid soaking it in water or exposing it to extreme heat. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil can help keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out or cracking over time.

The 8-inch Gyuto is a versatile all-purpose chef's knife. It is perfectly sized for the majority of kitchen tasks, including slicing meats, dicing vegetables, and mincing herbs with precision.
