We've been at this for over 2 decades now, and this knife is, hands down, the best we've ever seen anywhere near this price bracket.
With the GS+ range, by Konosuke Sakai, the grind is thin and performance is high, which means care is required to prevent damage.

* Semi-stainless steel (found in the core edge of this knife) requires some care to prevent surface rust, although somewhat less than full carbon steel. This grind is very thin and care is also required to prevent damage.
* As our Japanese chef knives are hand-made, small variations in size and appearance may occur, and measurements and images are a guide only.

Japanese 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.
