KIYA No. 3 GYUTO 210 MM

Upcycled Kiya No. 3 210 mm Gyuto. Classic kitchen knife for both professional and private kitchens. This restored Japanese chef knife is made from Swedish carbon steel. It has high carbon content, which means that it will hold its edge for a long time and is easy to resharpen. The blade is not stainless, so it will develop a nice patina as you use it, ranging from blue, grey and brown.

The saya is made out of reclaimed oak from a small boatyard in Bergen, Norway. It has a nice friction-fitted pin so you don’t need to worry about losing the pin.

The edge is resharpened using a series of Japanese whetstones, with a 4000 grit finish. It is ready to use right away.

The pakkawood handle is original, though it has been repaired. Gaps have been glued, the tang and handle is sanded and then oiled, to make it as good as new.

Note that there is some superficial pittings on the surface of the blade
