Hitohira Imojiya OKD VG-1 Gyuto 210mm Tagayasan Handle

The Seki made OKD series feature a mono VG1 steel blade with a very attractive price. They’re fitted with a western style rosewood or wenge handle. These decent performers have a very well balanced classic and sturdy feel to them, they’re very reliable and are pleasantly easy to sharpen.

The gyuto is a true all-rounder and suitable for a wide variety of cutting tasks. A go-to knife for many and an ideal shape to start out with. Based on the Western style chef’s knife, the gyuto has a decent length, enough height to clear the knuckles from the cutting board and a somewhat narrow tip. It’s just as good at chopping an onion or cabbage, as slicing a roast or portioning fish. There's no shame in owning multiple gyuto's
