Experience Culinary Precision with Hitachi

Unmatched Blade Quality:
Crafted from Hitachi SKD-11, a high-speed tool steel renowned for its use in die stamping and high-pressure machinery, this Gyuto knife boasts a hardness of 64 HRC. This steel's exceptional toughness ensures longevity and edge retention, making it the ideal choice for chefs who demand the best from their tools. The challenge of working with this steel reflects its superior quality - a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship involved.

Exquisite Desert Ironwood Handle:
The handle of this knife is not just functional but a work of art, made from desert ironwood, one of the densest and strongest woods in the world. This material is impervious to rust, rot proof, highly resistant to chipping, and naturally beautiful. Our designer, Mr. Cromwell, asserts that with even poor maintenance, this handle could last up to 600 years, proving its durability and elegance.

Perfectly Balanced with Elegance:
A stainless steel bolster not only provides the perfect balance but also adds a touch of luxury with its mirror-polished finish. This element ensures that the knife feels as good as it looks, offering an ergonomic experience that enhances your cutting precision.

Luxurious Presentation Gift Case:
This masterpiece knife comes nestled and presented in a sumptuous rich imitation leather case, lined with decadent red velvet, the Hitachi Gyuto is not merely a tool—it is a statement of opulence. This lavish packaging ensures the knife is as much a pleasure to gift as it is to own.
