The Zakuri 210mm Blue #1 Magki Funayuki is an all-purpose knife. Think of it as a tall gyuto. It's actually a pretty thin knife. This could be great for both home cooks and professional cooks. Blue #1 is a great steel for knives. It has a very high carbon content, great ability to get sharp, and very good edge retention. Not too many knife makers use Blue #1 because it can be difficult to forge. This could be a great alternative to someone looking for a 210 gyuto. This knife polished on both sides and is not stainless, so it will patina with use. If not cared for properly, it may rust.
