Its design helps it excel at slicing tasks and chopping vegetables large and small. It is generally used in an up and down chopping motion, so if you prefer to rock chop, a Gyuto may be a better choice. Single beveled versions are said to be the most versatile knife shape (though the Gyuto gives it a run for its money). Double beveled versions are more user friendly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlthough this knife is made from semi stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024376779068,"sku":"HHSLD-205KG","price":194.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3105\/2666\/files\/Japanese-Knife-Hatsukokoro-Kiritsuke-210mm-9.jpg?v=1788466358","url":"https:\/\/sharpknifeshop.com\/products\/hatsukokoro-hikari-sld-kiritsuke-gyuto-205-mm","provider":"SHARP Knife Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
