{"product_id":"gyuto-210mm-8-26","title":"Gyuto 210mm (8.2\")","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Gyuto is the most essential knife in any kitchen, making it a must-have for both professional chefs and home cooks. It will be your most frequently used knife, so choosing the right size and weight to suit your needs is crucial. This versatile blade handles a wide range of kitchen tasks, from chopping vegetables to slicing meat, making it the backbone of any knife collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCompared to traditional Japanese knives, the Gyuto tends to have a slightly heavier blade and a thicker spine, providing durability and stability for cutting through tougher ingredients. The curved edge is designed for the traditional rocking motion commonly used in Western chopping techniques, where the tip of the knife remains on the board while the blade moves back and forth. However, as Japanese and Chinese knives have gained popularity, many Western chefs have begun to favour wider blades that allow for a more up-and-down chopping motion, blending the best of both styles. With the right Gyuto in hand, you’ll have a precise, versatile, and highly efficient tool that makes every kitchen task easier and more enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Yoshimi Kato SG2 Hyo series is a stunning expression of modern Japanese craftsmanship, combining exceptional performance with an elegant, refined finish. Forged from SG2 powdered stainless steel, the blade delivers outstanding edge retention, exceptional hardness, and superb corrosion resistance. The ultra-fine grain structure allows the knife to be sharpened to an incredibly keen edge while maintaining long lasting cutting performance. The distinctive Hyo finish gives the blade a striking, frosted appearance that reflects light beautifully, creating a sophisticated aesthetic that complements its precision cutting ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe knife is paired with a beautifully crafted ebony and wenge octagonal wa-handle, offering the perfect balance of durability, comfort, and control. The dense hardwood construction provides a reassuring weight and a luxurious feel in the hand, while the traditional octagonal profile ensures a secure grip for both left and right-handed users. Every detail reflects Yoshimi Kato’s dedication to quality, resulting in a knife that blends advanced metallurgy with timeless Japanese design. The SG2 Hyo Ebony Wenge series is built for those who appreciate uncompromising performance, refined craftsmanship, and exceptional attention to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 168\u003c\/span\u003eg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Octagonal wenge with white O ring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 130\u003c\/span\u003emm (5.1\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 214\u003c\/span\u003emm (8.4\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 49\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at spine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1.6\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.4mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDouble 50\/50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSG2\/R2 High speed powder stainless steel with stainless steel cladding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness (Rockwell scale):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 62\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- 63\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"yoshimi kato SG2 Hyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58074649461119,"sku":null,"price":349.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/0646\/7124\/files\/IMG_5800.heic?v=1785338186","url":"https:\/\/knivesforchefs.co.uk\/products\/gyuto-210mm-8-26","provider":"Knives for Chefs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
