Masamoto KS gyuto 240mm

A 240mm gyuto from Masamoto Sohonten. The KS series, a popular choice among collectors and culinary professionals alike, features a high-grade shirogami#2/white#2 core steel and a higher level of refinement compared to the KK series. Heat-treated to 62-63 HRC, this steel excels in attaining remarkable hardness without excessive brittleness. The blade seamlessly integrates with a classic d-shaped magnolia handle adorned by a black horn ferrule. This version features a more pronounced convex grind, unlike the flatter-to-slightly-convex grind found in the previous models we had in 2019.

The gyuto, a Japanese chef's knife, proves itself as an all-purpose workhorse in the kitchen. Designed for precision cutting, slicing, and dicing, the gyuto's versatility and sharp edge make it an essential tool for both professional chefs and home cooks alike.
