T10 line is perfect for any cook who is looking for a high performing blade with a beautiful hammered finish with minimum rust management. The blade is relatively thin at the edge, and it can chip if used without proper technique or understanding. Regardless, these are some of our most popular wedding & house-warming gifts as well as investments in one's own home kitchen.
A chef's knife ('Gyuto' in Japanese) is the most versatile blade that can handle almost anything in the kitchen. Their shape and often generous edge length mean that whether it's cutting small tomatoes or portioning a large roast, you can do it with one blade. Most cooks have multiple chef's knives and it is not hard to justify getting one more when it has so much utility.
