21. Yoshihiro VG-10 16 Layer Hammered Damascus Stainless Steel Gyuto 8.25'' (210mm) Japanese Chefs Knife & Petty Utility Knife 5.3'' (135mm) SET

    Features:
  • Forged and hammered with 16 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG-10 Core, the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series has been a perennial best seller, combining performance, beauty, and extraordinary value.
  • The most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have is a Japanese chefs knife known as a Gyuto knife. The Gyuto is a Japanese chefs knife with a curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth and has an extended tip for quick chopping that can be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables.
  • Sometimes called a utility knife, the Petty is a smaller version of a chefs knife but is bigger than a Paring knife. The Petty fits in small places that require more dexterity than bigger chefs knives while handling bigger jobs than a Paring knife can take care of. The Petty will soon become the go-to knife in your kitchen.
  • Made in Japan. This knife is complimented with a premium Western Style Handle that extends to the full tang of the knife and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade. Every knife from Yoshihiro is handcrafted by master artisans creating a unique one-of-a-kind work of art.
  • Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

u/indy_res_hole · -1 pointsr/Cooking

Yeah, I probably would not even even be considering Sushi knives if it weren't for these beauties... I just love the look of them and I've heard good recommendations for them, but I just don't know if a sushi knife for anything but Sushi is a good idea?

u/Sancho_IV_of_Castile · 2 pointsr/knifeclub

As /u/Pfe1223 mentioned, you really don't need more than 3 knives. The chef's knife is the most important and most personal one. You should do a little research on that aspect. http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/ would be a good place if you want to really dig in.

Below are three of my recommendations that I think you'd be very happy with.

u/jacestar · 1 pointr/Chefit

Shuns are sharp, but chippy . i love my petty and parer but i got the 8 inch santoku and on my first slice at home taking ring of a melon it slipped and chipped on a nylon cutting board.


https://www.amazon.com/Masahiro-Gyutou-Knife-8-2-inch-210mm/dp/B004D29BOM is my favorite entry lvl japanese knife ive owned.

u/CosmicRave · 1 pointr/chefknives

looks like it will fit these sayas well. an actual irl picture would help though

u/mrmoustafa · 0 pointsr/Cooking

Search can be your friend if you only give it a chance..

Everyone here and their mother will recommend the Victoronix Chef knife, but i personally dont care for them (the feel). So go to a knife or kitchen store and check em out.
I just bought this one and im really happy with it:

u/wip30ut · 3 pointsr/Cooking

tonight must be cutlery Wednesday because someone just asked for recs on a chef's knife for her brother. My suggestion is basically the same, either the Messermeister or higher priced Takamura R2. For cheaper you can take a look at Yoshihiro's Powdered Tool Steel 9.5" Gyuto. My mom's chef friend uses one for her catering gigs. The handle & fit/finish is very basic but the blade is thin & resists wedging and food sticking. Most importantly it's crafted from powdered steel so the edge lasts 3 to 4 times longer than other knives. At 9.5" the length is more for commercial kitchens, but if you have the counter space it'll serve you well.

u/jaf488 · 1 pointr/KitchenConfidential

try the Kikuichi set. That was my first good knife, and i got the little utility one that is great for slicing meats to order.

u/purpleddit · 1 pointr/chefknives

Korin Suisin 210mm gyutu - Does anyone have any experience with this knife? Looks like good steel, nice belly, japanese made. European handle but supposedly well balanced.

https://www.amazon.com/Suisin-High-Carbon-Steel-Gyutou-8-2/dp/B0040DRE2U/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1519232533&sr=8-4&keywords=korin+suisin+high+carbon+steel+gyutou

u/whenhaiirymetsally · 1 pointr/BeautyAddiction

THIS GUY! Though I got it off Amazon through KORIN (I SWEAR it was sold out through Chef's Knives to Go when I made the decision to buy it last week, otherwise I would've bought it there -- I love those horrible, horrible enablers), and I'm not sure what I ordered comes with the adorable plum flower design. They didn't specify!

I have this guy and this guy.

The nine incher is a little bit excessive for tiny little me to use for certain projects, so I wanted an eight inch knife, and I also wanted to transition into carbon steel. They're easier to sharpen, hold their edge better, and the extra maintenance needed is moot because I already clean my knife blade between veg. Usually. I'll have to upgrade that to "always," but it won't be much of a change. I almost never use my santoku anymore.

Also, silly me, I forgot to grab a ceramic honer. Gr.

u/Surt627 · 1 pointr/KitchenConfidential

Miyabi Kaizen 9.5" is one I've had my eye on.

10 inch Shun kiritsuke, though arguably overpriced for what it is. I have an 8 inch shun that I love, but I got it on considerable sale so it was more in line with its actual value.

Yoshihiro 8 inch, which I know nothing about really, but it just popped up while poking around.

[Another Yoshihiro, 9.5 inches] (http://www.amazon.com/Yoshihiro-Steel-Suminagashi-Damascus-Japanese/dp/B00NI54VNQ/ref=sr_1_36?ie=UTF8&qid=1426449037&sr=8-36&keywords=japanese+chef+knife)

u/Kronenpils · 1 pointr/chefknives

I have got the 210 dp gyuto and it is nice.
The tojiro sujihiki and the 240 mm misono are about the same price range over here.

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B001TPA9BA/

You might want to fill out the questionaire, so it will be easier for others to give you suggestions.

u/riceonwhite · 9 pointsr/KitchenConfidential

suisin gyuto carbon steel

There's also a stainless version, Essentially the same knife. The handle's appearance is slightly different. Holds an edge much longer than the carbon.

I love this knife.

u/ReallyLikeFood · 1 pointr/KitchenConfidential

https://www.amazon.com/Misono-Swedish-Carbon-Steel-Gyutou/dp/B003Z51QLE It cuts very well, is very well balanced, sharpens well, holds an edge for a long time. All I want out of a chef's knife.

u/rm0826 · 1 pointr/knives

I'm going to hijack this thread, because I am buying [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Tojiro-DP-Gyutou-9-4-24cm/dp/B000UAQOUA)

I want to upgrade to a Nenox in the future. So I want to get everything I will need for that now. Your posts have quite a bit of options and I was hoping you could hone (lol) it down a bit for my need/future need.

u/sweet_story_bro · 2 pointsr/chefknives

Those look near identical to the Yoshihiro VG10 line which many would consider overpriced already (although quite good for a VG10 knife).

Also, Sakai Takayuki also makes a similar knife.

u/Forrest319 · 1 pointr/chefknives

Any idea what type of steel it is? This is what I'm seeing when I google TU-9005. I'm thinking it may be a softer stainless steel and a hone would be another option for basic maintenance.

If you go whtestone I would avoid the set. Buy a la carte. Sets are great for selling consumers pieces that don't actually need.

u/slickmamba · 1 pointr/chefknives

Its available on amazon for $65 and free shipping/prime shipping as well.

Having owned the 240 and the petty, I'd say skip it, but its usable and you can use it for practicing sharpening

https://www.amazon.com/Tojiro-Finished-Shiro-ko-Kasumi-Gyutou/dp/B00G5HBRW2

u/indifferentusername · 3 pointsr/chefknives

Miyabi Koh, or maybe Miyabi Artisan with SG2 if you really hate sharpening.

SLT has a liberal return policy.

If you insist on ordering from Amazon, Yoshihiro is arguably the best brand that you'll find there. This gyuto should do the trick.


Many Japanese blades are asymmetrically ground (right-biased), to greater or lesser extents.

u/groaner · 3 pointsr/chefknives

Lol, I thought you were being trolly, "that knife cut you, can I have it?"

Of course, I got it on Amazon.

TOJIRO TJF-809 DP Gyutou - 9.4"... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000UAQOUA

u/abakedcarrot · 2 pointsr/chefknives

Just gonna throw this out there before people start suggesting the Tojiro: Suisin Carbon or available at Korin

u/j3wxx · 1 pointr/tifu

The knife I have is a Kitchenaid.

The knife I ordered:

Yoshihiro Aoko Blue Steel Gyuto Japanese Chef Knife 8.25" (210mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FK640FU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gagpxbA373GCB

u/gbchaosmaster · 2 pointsr/AskCulinary

The [Tojiro DP 240mm Gyuto] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UAQOUA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yqwkDb9Q0Q6YA) is my favorite under 100. True workhorse, thin enough to fly through anything but has enough meat behind the edge to handle some abuse. VG10 is nothing special but it's an extremely capable steel.

I absolutely hate the Fibrox knives, their handles are super uncomfortable for a pinch grip and almost seem to encourage bad form. For 40 bucks it's a good blade, if only it were possible to hold properly.

u/zapatodefuego · 4 pointsr/Cooking

Sakai Takayuki Syousin Sakura Wa Gyuto 240mm - $430 - Blue #2 san mai

But that's kind of a crazy purchase for the regular home cook, so my recommendation:

Tojiro DP gyuto 240mm - $65 - VG-10 san mai

u/flowstone · 1 pointr/Atlanta

You asked a very simple question which I should be able to answer no problem, and I think it stops right before the handle. But because I'm knife-illiterate, here's a photo: https://www.amazon.com/Tojiro-DP-Gyutou-9-4-24cm/dp/B000UAQOUA
