A gyuto is a all-purpose knife used in vegetables, fish and meat. Even so, it shouldn't be used in heavy tasks, like breaking bones. The thinner harder blade cannot sustain this brute forces and may chip under pressure.
On the other hand, the hardness provides an excellent edge used in precision cutting. It is made of stainless steel, which is softer than carbon steel but is less prone to rusting. Even so, you should always wash by hand and dry it afterwards.
This specific stainless steel is VG-10. This alloy incorporates carbon, chromium and cobalt to make a stronger material. It improves sharpness, durability and edge retention. In this case, the blade is also a damascus and hammered, which gives it a more traditional look.
It is sharp out the box and can easily cut a tomato or paper. You won't need to sharpen it very often, but when you need to it should be easy if you are used to a whetstone. The yo-handle (western) has full tang, but it is still comfortable and light. The handle is tightly connected to the bolster, allow precision cutting without the blade instability.
Overall it's a well built and well balanced knife, light and natural on the hand. It has a magnificent look due to the damascus and hammering, even though it would be even better with a wa-handle (japanese).
The material is one of the best stainless steels in the market and it's very hard to rust. This medium priced utensil is great for any home cook who is looking for a reliable product with a sharp edge and low maintenance effort.
