Suisin – Gyuto 180mm

Born into a family of master knife craftsmen, Junro Aoki was determined to step out of his father’s shadow and create a brand of his own. After spending twenty years under his father’s guidance at Aoki Knife Craft — one of Sakai’s oldest knife-making houses — Aoki set out to merge traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. In 1990, his vision came to life with the founding of Knife System Company, home of the Suisin brand.

Each Suisin knife is crafted with heart and precision. From the initial design to the finished product, every knife is repeatedly tested in professional kitchens before being released. This close collaboration between craftsmen and chefs ensures that every Suisin knife delivers exceptional sharpness, balance, and ease of maintenance.

About the Gyuto:
The Gyuto is considered the essential all-purpose kitchen knife — versatile enough for slicing meat, fish, and vegetables with ease.
