The Kisuke Manaka Tsuchime Honwarikomi Shirogami #2 Gyuto 220mm is a hand-forged Japanese kitchen knife, meticulously crafted in Saitama, Japan. Featuring a core of Shirogami #2 carbon steel, this gyuto delivers outstanding sharpness and edge retention. Its soft iron cladding enhances the full carbon experience, while the tsuchime (hammered) finish adds texture and visual appeal.
The quince burl wood handle, paired with a brass bolster, provides a refined, ergonomic grip. Designed with a thin edge yet maintaining a robust feel, this gyuto offers a well-balanced weight and substantial presence, making it ideal for those preferring non-laser knives with more heft.
