The Masahiro 210mm Gyuto is a Japanese chef’s knife forged in Seki from proprietary Nihonkou carbon steel (~60 HRC). Its monosteel construction and full-tang rosewood handle balance durability with precise control. The 70:30 edge bevel and tapered spine (1.9mm at heel to 0.8mm near tip) optimize performance for versatile kitchen tasks. Carbon steel develops a natural patina with use.
Masahiro is a Japanese knife manufacturer based in Seki, established in 1948. As one of the 'big three M' brands alongside Misono and Masamoto, it produces professional-grade knives through continuous refinement of steel compositions and forging techniques.

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.
