The I can do it all: Gyuto<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Seki Kyuba NIJI Gyuto, with its versatile 20cm blade, represents the perfect fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and artistic expression. “Gyuto” translates to “cow sword” in Japanese, originally used for cutting beef but now prized as an all-purpose kitchen knife.<\/p>\n

Featuring a core of premium 12Cr18MoV steel artfully sandwiched between 37 layers of stainless steel, brass, and copper, the NIJI Gyuto creates mesmerising patterns that make each knife truly unique. Like a rainbow appearing after rain, the blade reveals stunning, one-of-a-kind patterns that catch the light differently with every angle. The blade’s hammered finish not only adds to its visual splendour but also helps reduce food sticking during use.<\/p>\n

With a Rockwell Hardness of 62-63 HRC, the NIJI Gyuto offers an excellent balance of sharpness and durability whilst maintaining good chip resistance. The 20cm length provides ample cutting surface for most kitchen tasks whilst maintaining exceptional agility and control.<\/p>\n

The Gyuto’s versatile profile, with a gentle curve along the cutting edge, allows for both rocking cuts and push-cutting techniques. This adaptability makes it suitable for a wide range of ingredients and cutting styles.<\/p>\n

Perfect for those who view cooking as both a culinary and visual art form, the NIJI Gyuto is not just a high-performance tool \u2013 it’s a conversation piece that transforms your kitchen into a gallery while delivering incredible cutting performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Die Klinge<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The blade in the NIJI line is designed to make cooking more enjoyable as cutting through produce will become an effortless task. The blade is handcrafted by skilled Japanese blacksmiths in Seki, Gifu village in Japan with premium 12Cr18MoV steel core, artfully sandwiched between 37 layers of stainless steel, brass, and copper, creating mesmerising rainbow patterns that make each knife truly unique. The 12Cr18MoV steel is specifically chosen for its excellent balance of sharpness, durability and corrosion resistance.<\/p>\n

The sharp blade is set in a premium-cut, waterproof stabilised maple burl wood available in Mediterranean Blue, Olive Green, or Natural Brown. The knife comes in a handcrafted, minimalist wooden box wrapped in a unique illustration strip.<\/p>\n

12Cr18MoV steel offers an excellent balance between edge retention, durability, and razor sharpness. The blade has an impressive Rockwell Hardness rating (HRC) of 62-63, which provides exceptional edge retention while maintaining good chip resistance. This means the edge stays noticeably sharper for a longer time, reducing the frequency of sharpening required. The multi-layered construction doesn’t just create beautiful patterns \u2013 it contributes to excellent cutting performance and stability.<\/p>\n

The blade’s hammered finish not only adds visual appeal but also helps reduce food sticking during use, enhancing efficiency in your food preparation. Like a rainbow appearing after rain, each blade reveals stunning, one-of-a-kind patterns that catch the light differently with every angle.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Der Handgriff<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The beautiful handle is made with extremely limited European maple burl dyed in an Natural Brown colour and feature a subtle copper ring under the oak bog wood kakumaki (collar of the handle). The wood has to be dried for two years before it undergoes the process of stabilisation. This ensures the wood is completely waterproof to avoid bacteria growth and is able to last generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The blade’s kakumaki (collar) is made with oak bog wood. A wood ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 years in age. Its age and living conditions give it a unique character and rich natural colour variation determined by its age. Giving you a knife with a rich history.<\/span>

The stabilised premium-cut maple burl is shaped into an octagonal shaped ambidextrous handle to give you a firm grip on the knife. Not only are the handles aesthetically pleasing, they are also perfectly balanced, light and comfortable. This allows for maximum precision and more controlled movements during use.<\/span>

No two handle colours or patterns are ever the same as the natural properties of each wood block are unique and will absorb the colour dye differently. This will give each knife a beautiful unique look and it can serve as an unforgettable gift. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

All our Seki Kyuba NIJI kitchen knives arrive in a handcrafted, minimalist European oak wooden box with a delicate waxed finish. The box is wrapped in our signature Oishya illustration strip featuring the Onna Bugeisha \u2013 legendary Japanese female warriors.<\/p>\n

Inside, you’ll discover a beautifully designed certificate with two sides, each telling an important part of your knife’s story.<\/p>\n

On one side, you’ll find a genuine 5 yen Japanese coin attached with an elegant note. There’s an ancient superstition that giving someone a knife is bad luck because it “cuts” the relationship between giver and recipient. The way around this? Attach a coin of symbolic value to the knife, which the recipient returns as payment.<\/p>\n

We chose the 5 yen coin specifically because in Japanese, go en<\/em> (\u4e94\u5186) is a homophone with go-en<\/em> (\u5fa1\u7e01), meaning “relationship,” “connection,” and “bond.” By exchanging this coin with the receiver, you’re not just avoiding bad luck \u2013 you’re actively strengthening your connection.<\/p>\n

The reverse features your knife’s Certificate of Authenticity, documenting genuine Oishya craftsmanship from Japan’s legendary blade-making regions. Each certificate is hand-stamped with our traditional Japanese hanko seal \u2013 a mark of authenticity used in Japan for centuries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
