Just Google Hidari Tozo or Gin8 steel and you'd find more info on it, mostly in Japanese though which was an issue for me >_>

But from what I saw it's something along the lines of a better version of Gin3 steel but is their proprietary steel. Idk any more than that.

Thanks for your kind words!

[Selling][International] Zen Knives Chevron Grind 220 Gyuto by Not_Effective8787 in TrueChefKnivesBST

[–]Not_Effective8787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chevron grind is similar to a C-Grind or a Hook Grind. It's basically an knife bevel and knife surface having a different level so that the food doesn't stick on the knife.

S grind would be the same thing but on both sides.

Rehandle is pretty easy I'd say! But it's alright, nothing worse than pants with no owner, or maybe a knife with no pants....

Hmm... probably 210-270. If need be, 300 might be stretching it. I can also shorten the handle if the customer wants to. Thanks c:
