The Kazoku x Dennis Huwaë Gyuto 21 cm is a chef’s knife from the chef-designed collaboration between Kazoku and Dennis Huwaë. This all-round kitchen knife is built for comfortable, efficient cutting of vegetables, meat, and fish, with a strong focus on balance, ergonomics, and cutting performance. The knife line uses modern ZA-18 steel, known for its good edge retention and relatively easy sharpening compared to many other stainless steels.

• Premium ZA-18 stainless steel offering excellent sharpness retention and cutting performance at chef level
• 21 cm blade ideal for versatile prep work with vegetables, meat, and fish
• Chef-designed by Dennis Huwaë, with attention to balance, ergonomics, and everyday usability
• Pre-order item — delivery depends on availability and production planning
• Durable enough for daily use as well as demanding kitchen tasks

Material & construction

The blade is forged in Seki, the knife capital of Japan. Made of high-quality ZA18 steel, sheathed in 62 layered damask folds that give each knife a unique, beautiful pattern. The knife is razor-sharp, stays sharp for a long time and is easy to resharpen on its own.

Use & care

Use this 21 cm gyuto for everyday tasks such as chopping, slicing, and portioning. While ZA-18 steel is more corrosion-resistant than carbon steel, hand washing and immediate drying are recommended to prevent staining or rust. Maintain the edge with Japanese whetstones or a fine strop for optimal performance.
