Overview
Slicing, dicing and push cutting all benefit from the asymmetrical edge on this Misono gyuto, which gives it a keener bite than an even bevel. Swedish stainless steel resists stains and sharpens more easily than carbon steel knives.
Sharpness with low upkeep is the case: the stainless Swedish steel avoids rust while still taking a fine edge. The asymmetric bevel asks for the right technique when sharpening.
Who it's for
Cooks who value precise slicing and are willing to sharpen with care. Those who prefer heft for chopping through bones should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Very sharp asymmetrical edge
- Stain resistant Swedish steel
- Easier to sharpen than carbon
- Silver filled bolster finish
- Asymmetric edge needs care
- Blade length listed two ways
- Wood handle needs drying
Performance notes
Cutting bite comes from the asymmetrical edge, which thins the cutting angle on one side. The Swedish stainless steel holds a fine edge and sharpens readily, while the light build favors precision over force.
