Kiya Edelweiss stainless gyuto 230 mm

The gyuto, or “cow sword”, is Japan’s versatile take on the Western chef’s knife, crafted in the late 19th century for slicing meats and vegetables alike. Lightweight and razor-sharp, it blends Japanese precision with Western adaptability, making it a staple in kitchens worldwide.

The Edelweiss Series by Kiya is made from New Edelweiss stainless steel, developed in collaboration with Austrian steelmaker Böhler. This fine-grained steel offers excellent sharpness, edge retention, and resistance to rust. Each knife is crafted with clean, functional lines and fitted with a durable resin handle for ease of maintenance. Balanced and reliable, the Edelweiss series reflects Kiya’s pursuit of enduring tools made for everyday use.

Founded in 1792 in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, Kiya is one of Japan’s oldest and most respected cutlery houses. Known for its refined balance between tradition and utility, Kiya collaborates with skilled smiths and craftsmen across Japan to produce knives and tools that reflect both precision and everyday practicality. Their designs favor simple forms and enduring materials. Tools made not for display, but for a lifetime of steady use.
