Specifications

The Hatsukokoro Ginso ginsan kiritsuke gyuto 240mm is a Japanese chef's knife made in Seki, Japan. It's part of the Ginso series under the Hatsukokoro brand. This knife is identical to the Hatsukokoro Hayabusa ginsan, with the only difference being it's sharpened by a different craftsman. The blade features a core of Ginsan (Silver#3) steel from Hitachi, known for its ease of sharpening and ability to take a keen edge. At 240mm, the blade length is well-suited for professional kitchen environments.

This kiritsuke gyuto knife is designed for a wide range of general cutting tasks. Its longer blade excels at slicing vegetables, fish, and boneless proteins. The knife's versatility makes it useful for various food preps, from fine slicing to general purpose cutting.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
