Misono Carbon Steel Gyuto

Misono offers the highest grade carbon steel knives with a Gyutou style, featuring Swedish carbon steel for the blade, which is not stain-resistant. The knives come in sizes 8.2", 9.4", and 10.5", with the Dragon Design unavailable for the 8.2" size. The handle material is made of composite wood, and the hardness Rockwell C scale is 60.

These knives are hand forged by professionals in Sakai city, using the traditional Japanese method to hammer the carbon steel sheets and strengthen the steel. The Swedish Carbon line is carefully made and decorated with an elegant dragon engraving on the face of the chef knives and slicers.

While the razor-sharpness of these knives is exceptional, it's important to note that carbon knives are not stain-resistant, so they require proper care. The gyutou style is versatile and can be used for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables, making it suitable for both Japanese and Western cuisine. Japanese chef knives are known for being lightweight, thin, and maintaining their sharpness longer than most other chef knives.

In addition to the exceptional sharpness, the knives feature a 70:30 Asymmetrical bevel, which creates a thin cutting edge by concentrating the sharpening on the face of the blade at a steeper angle than on the back. This approach approaches the sharpness of a traditional Japanese single-edged design.

In conclusion, Misono's Swedish Carbon steel knives offer the highest grade carbon steel with a traditional hand-forged technique, providing exceptional sharpness and versatility for various culinary tasks.
