One for the height lovers, this tall gyuto has been made for us by Knot Handcrafted to give additional clearance and high performance thanks to the flat grind and Aogami Super Blue core this is another quality knife from Knot Handcrafted.
As with all Knot Handcrafted knives, the finish is beautiful and this gyuto has a subtle horizontal hairline finish running the length of the blade down to the dark etched core steel for contrast.
Fitted with a rounded octagonal walnut handle this is a fantastic all rounder for those seeking a bit more height over a traditional gyuto.

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
Protection & care for this knife
Due to the height, only a large gyuto size blade guard is available for this knife.
