This carbon steel gyuto features a Shirogami #2 core in sanmai construction with stainless cladding and a rustic kurouchi finish. Shirogami #2 is a fine-grained carbon steel known for its ease of sharpening and ability to take a razor-sharp edge. Heat treated to 61–62 HRC. The blade measures 213mm with 52.5mm height. The relatively tall design ensures ample knuckle clearance for comfortable use. This Japanese gyuto handles general kitchen tasks from slicing to chopping.

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.

When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away. It could be months before that item comes back, if at all. We bring in new knives regularly, but they're not always the same ones. Our newsletter is the best way to stay updated on new arrivals.

What payment methods do you accept? Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. No cash on delivery.
