After 10 years of R&D, the next generation of Misen knives is here—and they’re the best knives we’ve ever made. Our new blades are forged from AICHI ACUTO440, an innovative high-carbon stainless steel that’s also (drumroll, please) totally rust-proof. Add a redesigned pinch grip for added comfort, and the same razor-sharpness and edge retention of our bestselling original knives, and you’ve got a pro-quality knife that you can use every day.

The 6.5 inch Gyuto Knife is our compact take on a Japanese-style chef’s knife. It’s the perfect all-around knife: easy to control, versatile enough to handle both large and small tasks, sturdy enough to break down meat, and nimble enough for precision knifework. The Gyuto’s smaller size makes it great for small-handed cooks, and its slightly curved belly makes it compatible with all cutting techniques, from rock-chopping to push-cutting.
