Overview
Not a bone cleaver, this Misono 440 gyuto is a forged chef's-style knife in chrome-rich stainless steel, with a stainless steel handle and a plain edge. The description calls it a professional knife made to resist rust.
The gyuto began as a meat knife and covers meat through vegetables, and the all-metal build has no wood to dry. Limits are the same as for its family: frozen and hard items are off the menu, and the blade length differs between fields.
Who it's for
Professional and home cooks who prep meat and vegetables and prefer an all-stainless build over wood. Anyone cutting bones, or buying for a fixed knife block, should check the blade length with the seller first.
Pros and cons
- Forged stainless steel
- Rust-resistant 16 chrome steel
- Stainless steel handle
- Meat to vegetable range
- Blade length stated two ways
- Cannot cut frozen food or bones
- Plain edge only
Performance notes
Higher chrome content makes the steel more resistant to rust than a conventional stainless grade, and forging gives the blade its strength. The plain edge slices meat and vegetables cleanly. Frozen items and bones are excluded by the description, since they can chip or damage the edge.
