This Sukenari 240mm gyuto knife, made of HAP40 steel, one of the hardest alloys used to make kitchen knives, have a nice minimalist aesthetics and equally excellent performance. The intrinsic toughness of this powdered steel allows for far thinner grinding than is possible with other steels. Furthermore, it maintains that sharpness is far longer than most others. If you're looking for a Japanese knife with amazing edge retention, the Sukenari HAP40 series should be at the top of your list.

❖ Sukenari Hamono, established in 1933, is a high-end professional knives manufacturer located in Toyama, Japan. This small forge is led by the third-generation blacksmith, Nobuo Hanaki-san. They are famous for their ZDP189's and shirogami#1 honyaki knives. They are also well-known for their excellent grinds and very consistent heat-treatment.

Care Instructions

Japanese kitchen knives requires some attention. It's crucial to pay attention to the following points.

Correct use
• Always use the appropriate knife for the task.
• Refrain from moving the knife in a lateral direction while cutting. Use the thrust-cutting technique. 
• Avoid bones and frozen food.
• Always use a wooden or rubbing cutting board. Avoid hard plastic, glass, or marble. 

Washing-up
• Wash and dry the blade as soon as you're done with it especially carbon steel knives.
• Always wash your Japanese kitchen knife by hand. Never use a dishwasher.

Knife maintenance
 Use sharpening whetstones to sharpen or touch up your Japanese knife. In general, honing rods are not recommended as using these will cause damage to the edge. Honing rods are for western knives. Electric sharpeners and pull through sharpeners should never be used on Japanese kitchen knives.
