Kato PSD 210mm Gyuto - Ancient Red Gum

Gyuto - 210mm

The Kato gyuto is amazing for precision tasks. More of a racehorse than a workhorse it will slice, dice and chop with ease but best to stay clear of harder foods like crackling.

Kato PSD Series

Stunning knives made with Master Kato's signature damascus pattern. Core of SG2 powder steel is wrapped in 32 layers of nickel damascus. Kato san and his team cut the sawtooth pattern into the steel before forging each and every blade. The blade is given a mirror finish to bring out the beautiful contrast of the damascus.

This blade performs every bit as well as it looks.

Ancient Redgum Handle

Ancient redgum is one of Australia's most treasured timbers. For millennia sturdy redgum trees have lined the mighty Murray river, some falling into the river's depths only to be discovered thousands of years later.

Chef's Armoury's Ancient Redgum handle has been dated to 4000 years (give or take a few decades) and is a testament to the durability of this great timber. Each handle has its own personality, some have tiny holes from where a tiny creature once lived and some richly textured grain enhanced with minerals.

Note:

• These blades have a thin profile so tough ingredients such as a hard skin pumpkin and nuts should be avoided to prevent chipping.
• As all knives are handmade the pattern will vary from blade to blade.
• As the handle is natural wood, colour and grain of wood will vary. Each handle is individual.

This knife is very limited production so if this is the knife for you, buy one while you can.

Knife care for stainless steel knives

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• Dry thoroughly after handwashing and do not store unless fully dry.
• Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
• Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
• Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
