Gyuto vs Santoku – Which Should You Choose?

Carbon Steel Knife Care

To keep your 52100 carbon steel gyuto performing at its best:

• Hand wash and dry immediately after use
• Apply a thin layer of food-safe oil after drying
• Sharpen regularly with a whetstone (1000/3000 grit)
• Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife roll

Note: Carbon steel develops a natural patina over time – this is normal and actually protects the blade from rust.
