Specifications

The Watanabe gyuto 244mm 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 244mm with 54.2mm height and weighs 218g. Watanabe gyutos are highly regarded in the kitchen knife community.
