The imarku Japanese Chef Knife (8-inch gyutou) is designed as a multipurpose kitchen knife for everyday prep—think slicing vegetables, dicing onions, chopping herbs, and handling a variety of meats. It’s built with a high-carbon stainless steel blade and a plain edge aimed at clean, controlled cuts.

The blade is described as containing 0.6–0.75% carbon, with 16–18% chrome for corrosion resistance and a glossy finish. With a stated HRC of 56–58, it’s positioned among tougher knives in its class while staying practical for home kitchens.

For comfort, the handle is made from pakkawood and shaped to help reduce fatigue during longer prep sessions. The knife comes as a single piece (1 pc chef knife) and is not dishwasher safe. Note: branding may vary due to a logo/packaging upgrade, but the product is stated to be the same quality.
