210mm 8" Gyuto Chef Knife Stainless Steel Nashiji Olive Wood Octagonal w/ Saya

210mm Gyuto Chef Knife — 9Cr18MoV Stainless Steel

This 210mm (8") gyuto is made from 9Cr18MoV high-carbon stainless steel — a high-chromium, molybdenum-vanadium alloy prized for its balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. It takes a keen edge, holds it through real prep work, and stands up well to moisture, making it a practical everyday workhorse for home cooks and professionals alike.

Please note: the 「銀三」 character marking on the blade is a decorative engraving only. It does not indicate the steel type or origin. The actual blade material is 9Cr18MoV stainless steel.

THE BLADE

The gyuto is the all-purpose Japanese-style chef's knife — the one that handles the majority of kitchen tasks. With a gently curved profile, it slices, dices, and rock-chops with equal confidence, moving smoothly from vegetables to boneless proteins to herbs. The blade face carries a nashiji ("pear-skin") finish, a softly textured matte surface that helps food release cleanly off the side and gives each piece its own subtly unique look.

THE HANDLE

Fitted with a traditional Japanese-style octagonal handle in olive wood, capped with a contrasting dark ferrule. Olive wood is known for its warm tone and dramatic, flowing grain — no two handles are identical. The octagonal cross-section locks naturally into the hand and supports a secure grip from any angle, whether you favor a pinch grip or a handle grip.

INCLUDES A MAGNETIC WOODEN SAYA (BLADE COVER)

A matching wooden saya is included to protect the edge during storage. It features a built-in magnetic closure that holds the blade securely in place, so the cover stays put when carried or stored and the knife slides in and out cleanly.
