"Gyu-to" is Japanese for "meat" (or "beef") "sword." The gyuto has been adapted for more general use by many chefs, as it is a shape that offers reach, dexterity, and versatility. Paired here with a lyrical handle shape, this knife is made for every-day use.

A piece like this would be about $2,300.00Nearly all of my knives are made using high carbon steel. It is superior to stainless steel in almost every way, but you need to know how to take care of it. It is important to understand what you’re buying.
If you would like to discuss a custom order, send me a message here to start the conversation. Your email will come to me, and I will respond personally. Tell me as much as you can about what you envision so that I can begin to frame the project in my mind, and we’ll go from there.
Pricing on custom work ranges from $100 on up to $10,000 and more, depending primarily on the complexity of the piece.
Lead time (i.e. when the knife might be complete) depends on what I have on my books at the moment, but in most cases 6 months is a safe guess.
