Kakuma Gyuto KnifeThe Gyuto is a versatile chef's knife suitable for meat, fish, and vegetables. This knife has been finished with a mirror polish near the cutting edge. A protective coating of knife oil has been applied for storage, so the polished area may appear cloudy. Lightly washing it with dish soap will restore its original appearance.Mirror and semi-mirror finishes are often applied only to portions of the blade rather than the entire surface. Please refer to the photos for the condition. As each finish is completed by hand, minor scratches may remain. We hope you will appreciate these as part of its handcrafted character.This double-beveled stainless steel knife is rust-resistant and easy to maintain.Professionally sharpened and ready to use.
