Suisin High Carbon Steel Gyuto 8.2" (210mm) Chef Knife

Country of Origin:  Japan

About Suisin High Carbon 
The Suisin High Carbon line is crafted out of a single piece of Nihon-kou (Japanese carbon) steel with a welded bolster and composite wood handle. Knives with very hard blades tend to be difficult to sharpen, therefore, Suisin does not use the same steel as traditional Japanese knives in the forging process. This difference in carbon steel allows the Suisin High Carbon blades to have a professional-grade edge retention that can be sharpened with ease.

Purpose of Gyuto
The Gyuto is a versatile chef's knife. It can be used for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables, making it suitable for preparing Western cuisine. Lightweight and thin, Japanese chef knives have a sharper blade and maintain their sharpness longer than most other chef knives.
