OUL SLD Nashiji Gyuto 240mm
The Gyuto is the Japanese adaptation of the Western chef's knife, designed as a versatile, multi-purpose tool suitable for cutting meats, fish, vegetables, and fruits. Its pointed tip excels at precision cuts, while the flat heel supports techniques like rock chopping and tap chopping.
Lighter and thinner than Western chef's knives, the Gyuto's forward balance point enhances agility and precision. This makes it ideal for a variety of cutting techniques, including push and pull cuts, offering exceptional control and versatility in the kitchen.
This knife features stainless nashiji (pear-skinned) cladding with an SLD steel core, offering the sharpness and edge retention of traditional high-carbon steel with added toughness and stain resistance.
With a burnt oak octagonal handle, thin workhorse geometry, and exceptional balance, it effortlessly handles any prep task with precision and ease.

Composition of SLD Steel:
Carbon (C): 1.40–1.60% (Enhances hardness and edge retention)
Chromium (Cr): 11.00–13.00% (Provides corrosion resistance and wear resistance)
Molybdenum (Mo): 0.80–1.20% (Increases strength and toughness)
Vanadium (V): 0.20–0.50% (Improves hardness and grain refinement)
Manganese (Mn): 0.20–0.50% (Enhances hardenability and toughness)
Silicon (Si): 0.10–0.50% (Adds strength and wear resistance)
Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.030% (Kept low to maintain toughness)
Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% (Minimizes impurities for better durability)
Key Features of SLD Steel:
Semi-stainless properties due to high chromium content, offering better corrosion resistance than high-carbon steels.
Excellent edge retention and sharpness, similar to traditional reactive carbon steels.
Tougher than most high-carbon steels, making it more resistant to chipping.
Used in high-end kitchen knives, woodworking tools, and industrial cutting applications.
SLD steel is valued for its durability, sharpness, and ease of maintenance, making it a popular choice for high-performance knives.
