Maruman Lefthanded Gyuto 240mm MV

This is a left-handed Koto style Gyuto. The left side of the knife has a hand ground convexity and an almost flat right side, this creates food release on the left side of the knife. (If a right hander uses it the food is going to stick to the knife). This is knife has been in storage and there is some damage to the box.

The Japanese version of a western Chef’s Knife, based off of French chefs knives in the 1880’s it was designed for cutting meat, Gyuto translates to “meat sword”, but it is a versatile all round kitchen knife that can be used for rock or push cutting styles. Due to the harder steel used for the cutting edge, Japanese Gyuto’s generally have thinner blades than a western knife of the same size.
