    The Tetsujin Ginsan Tanryusen Gyuto 210mm by Myojin Riki is a double-bevel stainless steel chef's knife best fit for users seeking a general-purpose blade with the sharpness of carbon steel and corrosion resistance. This profile performs mincing, slicing, and chopping tasks across vegetables and meats, featuring an edge length of 201mm and a heel height of 46mm. The Hitachi Ginsan Silver #3 steel measures 60-62 HRC and contains 1.02% carbon with 13.75% chromium, providing a fine grain structure that supports acute sharpening angles between 15 and 18 degrees.

    Construction features a spine thickness of 2.5mm at the heel, tapering to 2.1mm at mid and 0.6mm at the tip, with a total weight of 156g. The octagonal ebony handle pairs with this geometry for general kitchen use. Ginsan steel offers traditional cutting performance while resisting rust, making it suitable for those requiring stainless maintenance characteristics without sacrificing edge refinement. This gyuto serves as a multi-purpose tool designed for varied kitchen tasks rather than specialising in one application, utilising harder steel grades to maintain sharper edge geometries during extended use.

    Care Instruction
    1. Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
    2. Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
    3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
    4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
    5. It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
    6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.

    Myojin Riki

    Myojin Riki Seisakusho grew out of a forge in Susaki opened by Naohito Myojin's grandfather, who trained in Sakai; his father later established the sharpening workshop that carries the name today. Specializing in knives made from steel and iron, they've recently focused on stainless steel knives, valued for their light weight, resistance to rust, and exceptional sharpness. These knives are popular among both professionals and general consumers, partly due to their application of the "stacked steel pattern" traditionally found in swords. The second generation continues to innovate, customizing products to meet users' needs, while also contributing to cultural preservation through their involvement with local traditional performances and blade repairs.

    Naohito Myojin, the second generation craftsman of Myojin Riki, has dedicated himself to continuing the legacy of his predecessor's craftsmanship in knife making. Focused on innovation while preserving traditional techniques, Naohito has made a significant mark in the field by customizing knives that not only meet the practical needs of users but also contribute to the cultural heritage through his involvement in local traditions and blade restoration efforts. His work reflects a deep commitment to quality, functionality, and the preservation of the artistry involved in Japanese knife making.

      Chefs Knife

      A Japanese chef's knife is known as a gyuto (牛刀 ぎゅうとう) gyūtō), literally meaning 'beef knife'. Its blade resembles a flatter version of a French chef's knife. Japanese cutlery is known for sharpness due to its acute blade geometry, and the hardness of the steel used, sometimes exceeding 60 HRC on the Rockwell Scale A typical western chef's knife may be sharpened to an edge angle of 20-22°, while a Japanese gyuto generally has a sharper edge angle of 15-18° (or even lower), which requires a harder, more brittle grade of steel. In recent years Japanese gyuto have gained in popularity with western chefs.

      A modern chef's knife is a multi-purpose knife designed to perform well at many differing kitchen tasks, rather than excelling at any one in particular. It can be used for mincing, slicing, and chopping vegetables, slicing meat, and disjointing large cuts.

    • Steel: Ginsan / Silver #3

      Ginsan steel, also known as Silver 3 or G3 steel, is a type of stainless steel used in high-quality kitchen knives. It is appreciated for its ability to offer the traditional feel and sharpness of carbon steel while providing the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Ginsan steel contains a moderate amount of carbon, chromium, and other alloying elements that ensure a good balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. This steel is particularly favored for its fine grain structure, which allows for a very sharp edge, and its resistance to rust makes it a popular choice among professional chefs and home cooks who seek the performance of carbon steel without the maintenance challenges. Ginsan steel knives are known for their durability, ease of care, and excellent cutting performance, making them a preferred option for those looking for high-quality stainless steel cutlery.
