Compact and nimble, it works well as a dedicated home knife or a quick-tasks blade alongside a longer gyuto. A practical choice for smaller boards, extended prep, and ingredients that call for more control than a 210mm allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged in Miki, Japan by Shigeki Tanaka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e185mm (7.3\") actual cutting edge, 47mm heel height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAogami #2 (~63 HRC) with stainless cladding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKurouchi finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctagonal mono ebony handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor left- and right-handed users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA compact Japanese chef's knife for cooks who prefer a shorter, more maneuverable gyuto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlacksmith:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Shigeki Tanaka knives\" href=\"https:\/\/zahocho.com\/collections\/shigeki-tanaka\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eShigeki Tanaka\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducing area:\u003c\/strong\u003e Miki, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife type:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zahocho.com\/collections\/gyuto-knives\" title=\"Gyuto knives\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003egyuto\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e kurouchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aogami #2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~63\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel type:\u003c\/strong\u003e carbon steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCladding:\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlade \u0026amp; Handle Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 329mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length (heel to tip):\u003c\/strong\u003e 185mm (7.3\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade height at heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpine thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eat the handle: 2.8mm\u003cbr\u003eat the heel: 2.3mm\u003cbr\u003emidway: 1.9mm\u003cbr\u003e1cm from the tip: 0.8mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 162g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e octagonal mono ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e ambidextrous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaya\/sheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e none\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f5f5f5; padding: 8px 24px; margin-top: 16px; border-radius: 6px; font-size: 0.85em;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike.
