Hitohira KH Stainless | 210 Kiritsuke Gyuto Knife (Ebony)
$257
Crafted in Seki-Gifu, Japan, KH knives are well balanced, light and sharp out of the box. A clean, laser-esq. knife that will out-perform many costing much more. The Makassar ebony handle on these variants are a lovely addition.
The fit and finish of these knives is a little lower than some, small marks on the blade from the factory are normal, as is an inconsistent bevel and average handle install. This grind (and knife as a whole) is still is very high performing, we just want to set the right expectation for the aesthetics.

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.
