The Kikuichi Elite Carbon Steel knives are made of soft high carbon steel which makes for a sharp, sturdy and easy to sharpen knife, but require a little more care than stainless steel knives. We like this knife because it stays sharp for extended periods and is easier to sharpen than stainless steel blades. The high carbon steel will tarnish or develop a patina over time, so proper care is important. While improper care will lead to discoloration, the knife will continue to perform as normal. Be sure to hand wash the knife and dry after use to prevent rusting. Handmade by Kikuichi's craftsmen in Japan. ## Features - All purpose Gyuto or Chefs knife measuring 9.5 inches on the blade; workhorse in the kitchen for chopping, dicing, mincing and slicing - The carbon steel makes these knives sharp, sturdy and very easy to sharpen, - The compressed 3-rivet wood handle for optimum balance and durability - Packaged in an exquisite gift box with sharpening and care instructions - Made in Japan; hand wash and dry only ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** High Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Kikuichi - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel,Steel,Wood - **Blade Edge:** Straight Edged ## Images ![Elite Carbon Steel Gyuto Chefs Knife, 9.5 inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Bhqw4VZOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife *by S***S on April 18, 2024* Knife came in impeccable condition The craftsmanship is top-tier Great working knife for the professional... This is not a showpiece ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall quality Japenese chef's knife *by D***X on March 11, 2019* I purchased this knife as a "baby" step into Japanese knives. By this I mean I wanted to try out a quality gyuto without spending an arm and a leg. I did a fair amount of research and landed on this one by Kikuichi. Mainly this was based on the Amazon reviews, but I did some searches outside of Amazon to see if the feelings were mainly positive, and they were.I really like the fact that this knife uses carbon steel for the blade, and it's actually made in Japan. You get a very thin blade (cutting/chopping only, don't try to go through bone, etc.), that is very sharp. And because of the carbon steel you don't have to do much to keep it sharp. I've been using my ceramic hone, and that's been great so far. I will use my sharpener in the near future, luckily the angle of the blade will work with the belt sharpener I have (also purchased from Amazon -- love it!; Work Sharp E5). There is not much I don't like, I guess the only thing holding me back is that I now kind of wish I'd gone all on on a gyuto. Paid maybe $300 and gotten a really handmade knife (although I can't really say this isn't handmade). I'm probably cutting hairs with this. Overall it's a good knife, sharp and retains the sharpness. Lightweight and easy to work with. Enjoy!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best made knife ever. *by M***É on September 17, 2018* This is an amazing tool to have in your kitchen. I use it daily. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kikuichi Elite Carbon Steel Gyuto Chefs Knife, 9.5 inch - Mercer Culinary Knife Guard, Black 6 Inch x 1 Inch - Mercer Culinary Mercer Natural Ash Wood Saya Cover Blade Protector for 8" Chef and 210mm Gyuto Knives M33131, One Size --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/20880145-elite-carbon-steel-gyuto-chefs-knife-9-5-inch](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/20880145-elite-carbon-steel-gyuto-chefs-knife-9-5-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
