DAO VUA TALL SPECIAL 52100 Carbon Steel Gyuto 270mm
Do you like a tall and thin blade? Dao Vua is pushing the limits of what is possible with mono-steel blades. The specs on this new model speak for themselves!
Among those who explore beyond Japanese-made kitchen knives, the brand Dao Vua is often a name encountered on the internet. Originating from Hanoi, Vietnam, Dao Vua knives are impressively handcrafted by Vietnamese bladesmiths, using high-quality materials. Despite their humble and sustainable production process, these knives stand out due to their high build quality and sharpness, offered at a very affordable price point. However, they require careful maintenance, as being carbon steel with a kurouchi finish, they are reactive and must be wiped dry.
Dao Vua has introduced its third iteration to address concerns regarding the consistency of their final products. The line now uses 52100 carbon steel, ensuring the uniformity and quality of the finished product. A Gyuto knife is a versatile chef's knife, perfect for a wide range of cutting tasks, from slicing and dicing vegetables to cutting meat and fish. At 270mm, it's a substantial and powerful size for professional and home chefs alike.

Steel, Construction and Care

Carbon steels may develop a patina, while stainless steels are designed to resist discoloration. Follow the care guidance on each product page, hand wash only and dry the knife promptly after use.
An absolute unit of a blade. Incredibly thin and RAZOR sharp (Thank you Tokushu!). Fit and finish are fantastic. It's surprising how fast you get used to a 270mm knife. I was doing fine work with it as easy as my 210mm. The width really helps when chopping vegetables. It has great balance right at my pinch grip. It has a real rustic charm, and a gorgeous handle. It performs better than some of my more expensive Japanese knives. I've named him Onion Slayer. It shipped remarkably quickly, packaged very well protected. I bought this thinking I was going to pick up a project knife to play around with, but ended up with my new favorite knife. This is definitely the best place to get Dao Vua knives from.

I am extremely pleased with the look and feel of this knife, but im a littl underwhelemd by th complimentary “Sharpening Service” I recived.
As a cook, my hope was a razor sharp product. Please do not get me wrong, the knife is sharp, just not sharp as it could be.
My nephew has 3 kids and is a stay at home Dad with a very busy kitchen. He requested this knife from me and is over the moon with the quality and balance!
Really exceptional gyuto. Fit and finish is better than other daoVua in my collection of them. The Kurouchi more or less should just be scrubbed off with a good amount of elbow grease. You need to touch them up a little on stones and clean up a few rough spots on these budget DaoVoa Knives. But IMO thats half the fun of them. Great knives to introduce oneself to Carbon steel and using sharpening stones. Capable of very high performance with a little effort.The handles are fantastic at any price. Very reactive carbon steel so if you can get used to these you'll have no problem with other carbon steels.Only some Iron cladding is more reactive. Adventures in cutlery, these are fun knives that won't break the bank and get the job done and let you learn a little and practice while doing it.
Very nice knife. At work I am seeing the benefits of having a long knife. The finish of the knife were very good. The sharpness out of the box was good.
Smooth experience in slicing and cutting meat, saving for another knife.
