We partnered with our friends at KITCHEN KNIVES ID to create a line of knives for us and we love how they came out! All knives come with snap on plastic cover in photo. These knives are a great value, you wont find very many high quality hand made knives at this price point.
*The Gyuto or Chef Knife is considered by many to be the most important and diverse knife of all. This jack of all trades style knife can be used for all kinds of tasks including boneless meat or fish butchery, vegetable prep, cutting and slicing herbs, as a line knife and much more. Typically ranging in size from 180mm to 300mm the blade shape can vary from maker to maker but typically they will be somewhat flat towards the rear of the knife working up to a "belly" making it suitable for rocking or push cutting. If you can only have one knife this would be a top contender.*
