Hitohira Futana Stainless Tsuchime Damascus | 210mm Gyuto Knife
$264
New from Hitohira Japan, the Futana Tsuchime Damascus line has a lovely middle weight grind, not too thin that chipping will be easy, but not too thick that the cutting experience will be affected. AUS-10 is similar to 440C which is a widely praised stainless.
The longer Tagayasan handle has slightly more weight at the base, making the balance point more neutral... something that people moving to Japanese knives from the western equivalent will find more natural in hand.

Japanese Kitchen Knife | Gyuto (Chef Knife)
The Gyuto, or Japanese chef knife, is widely considered to be the most versatile kitchen knife for both professional chefs & home cooks alike.
With a variety of sizes and shapes available, generally the Gyuto is similar to western style chef knives in shape, however thinner, lighter, made of harder steel and retains a sharper edge. They consist of a flat mid-heel section for chopping, a curve towards the tip for rock cutting and a pointed tip for precision work.
If you are going to purchase just 1 good knife, the Gyuto (or perhaps the similar Santoku) would absolutely be the knife to choose.
