Height. Clearance. Clean geometry.

This tall-profile gyuto was built for cooks who want space on the board without sacrificing control. The generous 2.18” heel height provides excellent knuckle clearance while the balanced edge profile supports smooth rocking and confident push cuts.

Light in hand at just 5.5 oz, it moves easily through vegetables, proteins, and herbs without feeling delicate. The .078” spine thickness keeps the blade agile while maintaining long-term durability for daily prep.
