Shion Gyuto Chef Knife

Reach for this one first. An 8-inch workhorse profile with enough belly to rock and enough flat to chop, it covers most of what a kitchen asks. Forged and finished in Seki, Japan.

Features

• Behind the curve, the heel runs deep and straight, chopping onion halves clean to the board.
• Up front, a slim point slips under silverskin and handles close trim work.
• Mid-blade curve lets the edge roll through a bunch of parsley without bruising a leaf.
• Inside the Damascus sits a VG-10 heart brought to 60 ±2 on the Rockwell scale: keen out of the box, slow to dull.
• Folded 67 times around the center steel, the suminagashi jacket wears a current-of-water pattern.
• It weighs in near 7 oz, so a half hour at the board leaves the wrist fresh.

An octagonal wa grip of stabilized burl in blue resin, each handle figured a little differently.
