The Gyuto 237mm Etched Hook DLC combines the exceptional edge retention of ApexUltra monosteel with a durable diamond-like carbon coating. Hardened to 66 HRC, the blade offers a fine edge, a pronounced carbide structure, and high edge stability. The DLC surface reduces friction during cutting and protects the carbon steel from corrosion on the sides. 
 
With a 237 mm cutting edge and a 58 mm blade height, the Gyuto offers secure handling and ample finger clearance on the cutting board. The etched hook grind reduces the contact area with the food being cut, resulting in improved food release. The blade spine tapers from 5.20 mm at the base to 1.70 mm in the middle, tapering to a slim 0.60 mm near the tip. Weighing only 125 grams, the knife is easy and precise to use.  
 
As part of our Modular Takedown System, the blade is manufactured separately and can be flexibly combined with all compatible takedown handles. The handles are made to order, so production and shipping can take 2-4 weeks.
