Gyuto • 210 mm • High carbon stainless steel • Japanese octave magnolia handle • for right and left-handed use

A nice thin blade and a refined tapered handle ensure that this knife immediately feels comfortable. Magnolia is already light by nature, so the balance of this gyuto will be a little more to the front. The beautiful logo gives the knife a neat appearance. 

Elwin de Veld about OEM

An Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is a company that produces a product that is sold under the brand name of another company. In the case of knives, an OEM can manufacture a knife and sell it to several companies, who then simply add their price margin and sell the knife under their own brand name. This is a common practice in the Japanese knife industry. Does it affect the quality? No, that is not the case, it can actually mean stable production for the knife maker.

In this specific OEM case, a well-known knife maker from Sakai supplies knives from other producers in the region. A well-considered choice to provide a beautiful blade with a beautiful handle.
