A gyuto is similar to a utility knife in that it is a multipurpose knife that can handle virtually every task including chopping, mincing and slicing meat, fish, vegetables and fruit.  Our gyuto has a long, western style handle with a thin nimble neck which makes the knife easy to grip and form into your hand.  The blade is a Japanese inspired profile with a fair amount of belly in the blade to allow for a gentle rocking motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery one of our knives is numbered and unique. This NORA knife, number #1075, is a hybrid mix of wood and resin.  The wood is a beautiful, stabilized crotch walnut and we cut and cast a bubbly pattern of teal resin circles in the wood.  Its a playful pattern and we like the color combo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWood stabilization is an added feature that we offer with our knives. Wood that is stabilized has been injected with a clear acrylic resin under a \u003cspan color=\"#ff0000\"\u003evacuum process. Stabilization helps to minimize, if not eliminate, any cracking, warping, shrinkage and\/or expanding of the material. \u003c\/span\u003eStabilized wood will not absorb water and is generally impervious to oils. The process helps to ensure your knife has a long lifespan in the kitchen. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis knife blade is composed of CTS-XHP stainless steel which is a premium stainless steel that we rarely offer because it is fairly hard to source.  This steel has \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eexcellent\u003c\/span\u003e durability for a stainless steel and it also can be taken to a fairly high hardness at 62 HRC. This steel outperforms our AEB-L stainless because while the hardness is similar, this will generally keep a keen edge longer and it is a more hardy, durable alloy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides this, the actual stain resistance on this steel\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis high.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt is a true stainless but with performance similar to many carbon steels.  In general, this is an excellent steel choice that combines great performance with heightened durability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e{ Knife Details }\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal: CTS XHP Stainless Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Length: 7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal Length: 13.25 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003eHandle Material(s) Crotch Walnut Wood (stabilized), Urethane resins, gray G10 liner, natural micarta pins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003eRockwell Hardness: 62\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrind Type: Full Flat\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nora Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41756925138,"sku":"","price":340.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0344\/0381\/products\/20170817120901.jpg?v=1571438963","url":"https:\/\/noraknives.mom\/products\/nora-7-western-gyuto-1075-bubbly","provider":"Nora Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
