What exact Misono model is the UX10 Gyutou 210 mm?
Misono’s UX10 listing identifies No. 712 as a GYUTOU knife with a 210 mm blade. The manufacturer’s factory address is in Seki, Gifu, Japan; this FAQ concerns that 210 mm No. 712 model, not the other UX10 sizes listed on the same page.
What steel and hardness does the Misono UX10 No. 712 use?
Misono states that the UX10 uses EU-made, high-purity pure stainless special steel. Its product-family description gives a blade hardness of HRC 59–60 and says the steel is intended to combine high strength and durability with a sharp edge.
How should this 210 mm UX10 be cared for and sharpened?
Korin’s care guidance for this exact 210 mm listing says never to wash the knife in a dishwasher and recommends wiping it dry after use. For sharpening, Korin recommends sharpening stones and warns that honing steels or sharpening machines may chip the knife’s thin blade.
Is the UX10 Gyutou 210 mm configured for right- or left-handed use?
The Korin listing specifies a 70/30 bevel and identifies the knife as right-handed. It also states that Korin’s resident knife master can convert the edge for left-handed use, so left-handed buyers should arrange that service rather than assume the standard configuration is ambidextrous.
What kitchen tasks is this Misono UX10 Gyutou intended for?
Korin describes the gyuto as a versatile chef’s knife for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. That description applies to the listed Misono UX10 8.2-inch (210 mm) model and supports using it as an all-purpose preparation knife for those foods.
