It ranges in size from 180 mm (7 inches) to 240 mm (10 inches), making it longer than the Santoku and Bunka. This length makes it adept at handling almost any task you'll come across in the kitchen, from mincing small ingredients to chopping through larger fruits and vegetables. The longer the knife, the more time it will take to grow accustomed to its length, but the more versatile it will be. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Stainless Steel Knife Care\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i1WsRFdAYmg\" 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 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","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52541942825276,"sku":"STYLK-403","price":479.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3105\/2666\/files\/IMG_3802.jpg?v=1765389004","url":"https:\/\/sharpknifeshop.com\/products\/makoto-kurosaki-kaen-gyuto-210-mm","provider":"SHARP Knife Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
