Misono Swedish Carbon Steel Gyuto

A 70/30 bevel means the blade is sharpened asymmetrically, with 70% of the angle on one side and 30% on the other. This design is optimized for right-handed users, providing a cleaner, more precise cut and better food release compared to a standard 50/50 edge.

Carbon steel is highly reactive to moisture and acidity. To prevent rust, wipe the blade dry immediately after every use, avoid leaving it in the sink, and consider applying a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil if you are storing it for an extended period.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher will damage the wood handle and cause rapid corrosion or rust on the high-carbon steel blade.

An HRC rating of 60 indicates a relatively hard steel, which allows the blade to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time. However, this hardness also makes the edge more brittle than softer stainless steel, so you should avoid cutting through bone, frozen foods, or hard pits to prevent chipping.

While this is an exceptional knife, it requires more maintenance than a standard stainless steel blade due to its carbon steel construction. It is best suited for someone comfortable with hand-washing, drying, and occasionally oiling their tools to keep them in top condition.

No, this knife does not include a saya or sheath. Because the blade is carbon steel, we recommend storing it in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or purchasing a universal blade guard to protect the edge and prevent it from coming into contact with other utensils.
