Zanmai Revolution Gyuto 8.2 inches

Zanmai Revolution Gyuto 8.2"

The Gyuto is the western equivalent of the chef knife and the quintessential knife choice for most chefs. Japanese Western Style chef knives, gyutos, are typically lighter in weight and thinner behind the edge than their European style counterparts making them geared toward precision cuts and sharp cutting edges.

Zanmai continues to challenge traditional norms and look for ways to rethink the ergonomics, materials, and styling of kitchen knives. The Revolution series embodies all of these elements from their uniquely styled decagonal handle to SPG2 stainless steel blades.  The ergonomic handles are crafted from a linen micarta with a look that mimics the grain of wood and contains varying tones of gray, black, and green. They are accented with a single mosaic pin and white spacer furthering the detail and adding to the unique look. The ten sided handle has carefully positioned facets and subtle curves lending clean lines and an exceptionally comfortable grip. The choil and bolster have been rounded to add to the comfort and elevate the finish work of these well crafted knives. The blade steel is SPG2, powdered steel is known for its superior resistance to wear and corrosion. The Rockwell hardness level is at 61HRC, giving the blade a keen and lasting edge. The Zanmai Revolution series of knives are expanding upon the rich Japanese knife making tradition with and attention to detail and excellence that is sure to impress.
