Kazoku Uteki Burlwood Yellow Gyuto 21 cm
A versatile and elegant Japanese chef’s knife, the Kazoku Uteki Burlwood Yellow Gyuto delivers professional-grade sharpness and control at an unbeatable price. With a longer 21 cm blade, this Gyuto excels at slicing, dicing, and chopping meats, vegetables, and more—making it an essential tool for any kitchen.
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan—known as the knife capital of the world—the Uteki series is Kazoku’s fourth collection, and it showcases exceptional attention to detail. The blade is forged from high-grade VG10 steel, prized for its purity, hardness, and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. With a Rockwell hardness of 60–61 HRC and a finely sharpened 15° edge, this knife offers effortless precision with every cut.
Finished with a striking Tsuchime (hammered) pattern, the blade not only looks beautiful but also reduces food sticking—ensuring clean, smooth slicing every time. The handle, crafted from vibrant yellow burlwood, features an octagonal shape that fits comfortably in the hand and tapers for added grip and control.
Combining traditional craftsmanship, premium materials, and eye-catching design, the Kazoku Uteki Gyuto is a dependable and stylish addition to any serious cook’s collection.
