Meet the KC-957 Gyutou — a precision Japanese chef knife engineered for decisive, consistent cuts from prep to plate.
Crafted in Seki, Japan, the KC-957 centers on a DSR-1K6 high carbon stainless steel blade forged by Daido Steel Co., Ltd. This blade blends reliable edge retention with practical corrosion resistance and a tested hardness of HRC 58, so your cuts stay clean and precise task after task. Featuring a 210 mm (8.3 inches) blade, it strikes an ideal balance between reach and control for a wide range of kitchen tasks.
The finish matters. The distinctive Tsuchime hammered texture reduces suction, helping foods release quickly as you slice, chop, and mince. Paired with a traditional wood handle, this Gyuto delivers a balanced, confident feel in the hand, supporting steady, repeatable results through long prep sessions.
Why this knife stands out:
-
Versatile 210 mm blade for vegetables, fruit, herbs, and meat with equal poise.
-
0.6% carbon with molybdenum for a durable edge that’s responsive to sharpening and maintenance.
-
Professional-grade edge that yields uniform chops, slices, and minces for restaurant-quality results at home.
-
Tsuchime hammered finish to promote fast food release and efficient prep.
-
Made in Seki, Japan — a region renowned for expert blade crafting and timeless craftsmanship.
-
Wood handle for a classic aesthetic paired with a comfortable, confident grip.
Ideal for a wide range of cooks — from serious home chefs building essential knife skills to small-kitchen professionals who need a single, reliable blade for multiple tasks. The KC-957 Gyutou handles everything from delicate herb chiffonades to sturdy meat portioning, without switching blades.
Practical use scenarios:
- Chopping onions, garlic, and peppers into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Slicing fruits like melons and citrus with clean, precise edges.
- Dicing carrots, zucchini, and potatoes with minimal sticking thanks to the Tsuchime finish.
- Portioning beef, pork, or poultry for consistent cooking results.
Maintenance note: To preserve the blade’s edge and finish, hand wash and thoroughly dry after use. Store in a knife block or sheath to protect the edge when not in use.
