This **Due Cigni Hakucho gyuto 21 cm** is an average-sized knife that is mostly used to finely cut meat and vegetables. Gyuto stands for ‘Beef sword’. When preparing vegetables you use the knife by making a chopping movement near the heel of the knife. Use the tip to create a fine cut. When cutting (large) pieces of meat you allow the edge to cut through the meat with one single movement.
## Due Cigni Hakucho handle
The classic Japanese handle is made from olive wood. The soft, light-brown colour and the fragrance of olives radiate luxury. The flaming pattern adds an extra dimension to the handle. The handle was secured to the full-tang blade with three stunning rivets. To maintain the stunning colour of the olive wood, and to not affect the sharpness of the blade, we recommend cleaning this knife by hand. Dry it after cleaning it to prevent discolourations or tears and to make sure the wood doesn’t bend.
## Due Cigni Hakucho blade
The blade is made from 4116-X50Cr15MOV steel and has a smooth, razor-sharp edge. This type of steel is also easy to sharpen, if, after some time, it has lost some of its sharpness. The stunning markings on the blade complete the whole.

He used the Japanese style as the basis for this collection of kitchen knives. The stunning markings on the blade emphasize this, and add to the design. The knives are produced in Italy.
