The **Mujun Sekiso gyuto chef’s knife 24 cm** is a long, stylish and lightweight Japanese chef’s knife. Thanks to its relatively long blade, this knife is suitable for large cutting tasks in the kitchen. Gyuto means ‘beef sword’ in Japanese. Sounds gruesome, but it simply means that this knife was originally made to prepare meat. Today, the gyuto knife is considered an all-round chef’s knife for every cutting task in the kitchen.
Mujun kitchen knives are made and sharpened by hand. As a result, the finish of each knife differs slightly and each knife has a unique character!
## Mujun Sekiso Damascus AUS-10 steel blade
The blade is made from Damascus steel and a core of AUS-10 steel. This is a stainless steel that is produced by Aichi Steel, in the Japanese city of Tokai. The AUS-10 steel has a hardness of 61 HRC, which makes the knife super sharp and also gives it great sharpness retention. The Damascus steel not only looks elegant, but it also improves the corrosion resistance. Despite its hardness, AUS-10 steel is easy to sharpen if the knife starts to lose some of its sharpness over time.
## Mujun Sekiso magnolia wood and buffalo horn handle

A graceful and functional combination. Please take into account that wood and horn are natural products. The product you receive may differ with regard to pattern and colour. The materials used remain the same.
