{"product_id":"masahiro-rosewood-nihonko-gyuto-240mm","title":"Masahiro rosewood nihonko gyuto 240mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Seki, Japan by Masahiro, this 240mm gyuto is a monosteel blade made of Nihonko (日本鋼) carbon steel at about 60 HRC. This Japanese chef’s knife handles everything from vegetables to meat. A full tang runs through the contoured Western-style rosewood handle, fitted with brass pins. Fully convex on the right side, the asymmetric grind aids in food release. It suits right-handed users because of the high asymmetry. With the robust grind and 60 HRC, it is less likely to chip. A forgiving choice for a first Japanese knife or a backup for pro chefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Seki, Japan by Masahiro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e245mm (9.6\") actual cutting edge, 50.7mm heel height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonosteel nihonko carbon steel (0.95% carbon, ~60 HRC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust asymmetric grind, fully convex on the right side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContoured Western-style rosewood handle with brass pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor right-handed users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0; margin-top: 36px; margin-bottom: 36px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Masahiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducing Area\u003c\/strong\u003e: Seki, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyuto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: monosteel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: carbon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Masahiro nihonko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHRC\u003c\/strong\u003e: ~60\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlade \u0026amp; Handle Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 377mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length - heel to tip\u003c\/strong\u003e: 245mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50.7mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpine Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e  At the handle: 2.2\u003cbr\u003e  At the heel: 2.0\u003cbr\u003e  Midway: 1.8\u003cbr\u003e  1cm from the tip: 0.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 212g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalance Point\u003c\/strong\u003e: near the pinch \/ 1cm in front of the heel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle\u003c\/strong\u003e: rosewood with brass pins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: right-handed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaya\/Sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e: none\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f5f5f5; padding: 28px 24px 24px 32px; margin-top: 16px; border-radius: 6px; font-size: 0.85em;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left: 0; margin-left: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe photo shows a knife from our current stock and may not be the exact one you'll receive.
