Everyday Gyuto EG002
I'm calling this model the Everyday Gyuto.
The Everyday Gyuto is intended to be a high performance model fit for daily use in the average home kitchen.
No mosaic damascus S-grinds or dyed burl handles here! With AEB-L stainless machine finished blades and synthetic composite handles these gyutos are definitely not too precious to put to work!

Care Instructions
Although I have tried to make this model as maintenance free as possible it’s still a good idea to follow some basic care guidelines to keep your knife performing at its best.
-
Keep your knife clean and dry when not in use. Any steel will corrode given the right conditions; Acidic foods and liquids are usually the primary concern for kitchen knives. For extra peace of mind during long periods of storage, a light film of food safe oil or wax can be applied to the blade.
-
Wash by hand in warm soapy water. Avoid cleaning with abrasives like scotchbrite etc. Do NOT put your knife in the dishwasher!
-
Use wooden or plastic cutting boards. Cutting on hard or abrasive surfaces will dull and/or damage the edge.
-
In general my knives have quite fine edges. They are not delicate, but they will sustain damage if pushed too far. Avoid chopping, and avoid cutting through hard materials like bones and frozen foods etc.
-
Do not use the tips to pry. Do not stab the tip of your knife into your chopping board.
-
Sharpen by hand on abrasive stones/rods. Avoid the ‘pull-though’ style sharpeners and powered equipment.
-
Wash your Kydex sheath in warm soapy water as needed. Sand and other gritty contaminants will likely make their way into your sheath over time. If they are allowed to remain they will scratch your knife. If storing your knife in its sheath make sure the sheath and blade are clean and dry. Even a stainless steel blade will react if stored in a wet or otherwise contaminated sheath.
-
Do not allow your knife to be exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods. like many materials resin based composites are susceptible to degradation through UV exposure if given enough time.
