ZDP-189 Gyuto Black 210mm (8.3")

Best japanese steel

It is probably the best japanese steel used for kitchen knives, with longest edge retention.

An experience on its own

This knife, it’s incredible. It’s different. I wanted to find a knife that had more of a rustic look, with the black blade but wasn’t sure about using it in a commercial kitchen Coming from demascus before this is a whole different knife. The edge retention is insane, how sharp it holds. It’s crazy because it is also deceptively light compared to my other knives. I’m really loving the zdp, it is a unique experience. Hoping to get another just for collection purposes but man, I’m stoked. The knife In hand, you think wow it’s lighter than I thought but man, it’s odd because it doesn’t need weight to slice, everything is just butter and it holds sharpness. Could not be happier, working in the kitchen can be boring and this really has made work enjoyable and puts a real smile on my face
