Comfortable and well-balanced. I love the hand-hammered pattern on the blade. Excellent craftsmanship.
- PHILIPPE COLINET, three times Michelin Starred Chef at Colette (5-star hotel Sezz), Saint-Tropez, France
Gyuto Chef Knife 200 mm - Pakka Collection
Hybrid between a Japanese and a German blade profile, the Gyuto's slightly curved belly allows a rocking motion for effortless chopping and mincing while the lowered tip makes precision work easier.
Besides its aesthetic appeal, the “Tsuchime” (槌目) - hammered pattern creates tiny pockets of air between the blade and the food being cut. This ancestral Japanese method reduces drag, thus preventing food from sticking to the blade.
