Product Overview

The FC-42 is a Japanese-made Narihira gyuto with a 7-inch mirror-finished, molybdenum rust-resistant steel blade. Its pointed chef-knife outline is paired with a black POM handle and stainless-steel bolster.

The complete knife is 12 inches long. The moisture-resistant POM grip provides a different handle material from wood or all-stainless alternatives, and dishwasher-safe care offers an additional cleanup option. This size coordinates with the other Narihira gyuto length.

This version combines a 7-inch blade with a 12-inch overall length. The other Narihira gyuto retains the same black three-rivet handle treatment, allowing cutting length to change while the style stays coordinated.
