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.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
