Hand-forged by Shuji Toyama, 87-year-old master blacksmith from Sanjo, Japan, this 270mm gyuto has an Aogami #2 core at ~64 HRC with stainless cladding and a migaki finish. At 270mm, it has extra reach for larger ingredients and longer slicing strokes. The convex grind, combined with Toyama's well-regarded heat treat of Aogami #2, makes this a capable cutter with excellent edge retention that sharpens easily on stones. An all-purpose Japanese kitchen knife for cooks who want Toyama performance at full length.

Notes:
Each knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike. The photo shows a randomly selected piece from our stock. If you want to see the exact knife you'll receive, just email us at info@zahocho.com.
Minor variations in surface finish and measurements are normal in hand-forged Japanese knives.
Handle is fitted by the maker and shipped as-is. We don't offer handle swaps.
