Its SG2 powdered stainless steel core is clad in stainless steel, combining edge retention with straightforward daily care. The 210mm blade gives you room for slicing vegetables, portioning boneless meat and preparing fish without moving up to a longer chef knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arare pattern covers the upper blade with small, angular impressions that contrast with the smooth cutting face below. This configuration comes fitted with the pictured black and grey carbon fiber octagonal wa handle and a narrow gold-colored accent spacer. Each handle has its own pattern, so appearance varies slightly between knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 210mm gyuto suitable for home cooks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
