Product description

SHAPE: Gyuto. Japan's answer to the chef's knife with a thinner profile. Gyuto translates to cow sword.

STEEL: Aogami (blue paper) 2 steel. This is very similar to white paper steel but with tungsten and chromium added to it which helps with edge retention and slows down rusting. This steel differs from Blue 1 in its carbon content, Blue 2 being slightly less. Due to the non stainless nature of this steel care must be taken to dry the knives properly after use.

FINISH: Kasumi polish - a hazy, almost matte, effect on the bla

HANDLE: Octagonal wenge handle with buffalo horn ferule (210mm)

Octagonal ebony handle with buffalo horn ferule (240mm)

LENGTH: 210mm and 240mm in length

MAKER: Tetsujin Hamono, Tosa

SAUNDERS SAYS:  "An immaculately forged and finished knife"
