Detailed information

Product detailed description

Japanese Knife Gyuto 821T by Glestain Knives 

Knives by Glestain Knives are known among Japanese professional chefs, particularly for their excellent performance and high durability. The blades feature specially designed deep dimples that allow food to glide easily across the knife. This makes cutting faster and more efficient. The Gyuto is a universal knife for both professional and home use. It is the Japanese equivalent of a Western chef's knife, with a long blade and classic, symmetrical profile. It is ideal for slicing meat, fish, vegetables, and herbs. The almost single-sided convex blade is made of Acuto 440 steel, which is corrosion-resistant and has a great edge retention. The handle is made from laminated reinforced wood, assembled by hand using strong rivets and adhesives. The result is a wooden construction that is warm to the touch and has excellent properties and durability.

Manufacturer

The Glestain Knives brand was founded by Akira Honma in 1971. From the beginning, production was focused on professional chefs, and with the first knives delivered, the company gained valuable insights and advice on how to improve their knives directly from passionate chefs. This resulted in the development of knives with a unique blade surface featuring quite pronounced grooves or "dimples" on one side, allowing food to glide easily across the knife. As a result, cutting becomes faster, more efficient, and more comfortable.

Material

The blade is made from special stainless steel Acuto 440. This steel retains its sharpness remarkably well, is rust-resistant, and strong enough to withstand life in a professional kitchen. The handle uses stainless steel 18-8 and a highly durable wood-polymer composite impregnated with stabilizing agents, preventing fluid absorption and drying out.

Note: Delivered in original packaging.
Glestain produces its knives in two main lines - professional and home for everyday cooking. Both are considered professional equipment, with a blade hardness of 59 HRC; the main difference is the reinforcement of the handle and consequently the higher weight of the professional model.

Maintenance

If you want to keep your Japanese knives in perfect condition, here are a few must-haves:
Wash knives by hand. Wipe dry with a cloth. Avoid the dishwasher, which can cause damage to the edge.
The blade of this knife is made from stainless steel and therefore requires less care. However, it's important to keep the blade clean and dry after use. To restore the appearance, the blade and handle can be oiled - preferably with linseed or camellia oil.
Do not use the knife for prying, cutting, or chopping frozen products or hard materials such as bones, pumpkin, and the like. The blade may chip or break.
Use a quality wooden cutting board. Store knives in a dry location to prevent oxidation of the steel.
A knife from Glestain Knives holds its sharpness really well, the manufacturer recommends sharpening the knife only once or twice a year.

Značku Glestain Knives založil Akira Honma v roce 1971 ve městě Toukaichi, v prefektuře Niigata. Od počátku byla výroba zaměřena na profesionální kuchaře a s prvními dodanými noži získala společnost mnoho informací a rad, jak své nože vylepšit, přímo od vášnivých kuchařů. Díky tomu se podařilo vyvinout nože s jedinečným povrchem čepele, které mají na jedné straně poměrně výrazné vroubkování neboli "důlky", umožňující snadné klouzání potravin po noži. Krájení je tak rychlejší, efektivnější a pohodlnější.
