About this product

  • Type: Gyuto / chef’s knife
  • Handle material: Wood
  • Color: Silver, natural wood, black
  • Selling unit: One piece

Product Overview

The 8218-A2 is a gyuto-style cooking knife with a pointed blade and a pale wooden handle. The blade widens toward the heel and narrows toward the tip, giving the knife a general-purpose preparation profile rather than the long, narrow outline of a dedicated sashimi slicer.

A black collar creates a defined transition between blade and grip. This knife is supplied as one piece, making it an individual addition to a preparation station rather than a multi-knife set. Pair it with a suitably sized cutting board and the separate tools needed for sharpening and storage.

A pointed profile for everyday preparation

The tapered tip and broader rear portion give this knife a different outline from a rectangular vegetable knife or a long sashimi slicer. Choose the profile to suit the ingredients and cutting methods used at the main preparation board.

A simple blade-to-handle transition

The pale wooden grip meets the blade through a black collar. Its unadorned handle keeps the visual emphasis on the blade shape, without the riveted side scales used on some Western-style chef’s knives.

Build a task-specific knife selection

A general-purpose gyuto can sit alongside a dedicated vegetable knife or sashimi slicer, with each profile selected for its own task. Keep sharpening equipment and a suitable cutting board separate so the preparation station can be assembled around the knives actually used.
