The Watanabe gyuto 210mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife forged in Sanjo by Shinichi Watanabe. This knife features an Aogami #2 carbon steel core with stainless cladding in sanmai construction. Watanabe knives are known for their exceptional cutting performance, with thin geometry behind the edge that cuts cleanly through ingredients with minimal resistance. The heat treatment balances hardness for edge retention with enough toughness for daily kitchen work. The blade measures 214mm with 51mm height and weighs 178g. Watanabe gyutos are highly regarded in the kitchen knife community.

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.
