Specifications
The Yamamoto kurouchi gyuto 240mm is a handcrafted knife by Echizen-based blacksmith Nao Yamamoto. Made with a core of shirogami#2 steel, it offers key features such as excellent sharpness and ease of sharpening. The knife comes equipped with an octagonal rosewood handle, providing both aesthetic appeal and ergonomic comfort. It stands as a workhorse type - characterized by its hefty and authoritative presence, boasting a thick spine. However, it's worth noting that it's thin behind the edge with some nail-flexing edge. This knife is perfect for both home cooks and professional chefs, especially those seeking a hefty workhorse gyuto.
❖ Born in 1979, Nao Yamamoto is a renowned master blacksmith from Takefu, Japan. He was trained under Asai and continued Asai's work after his passing in 2013. Yamamoto-san's knives are celebrated for their robust build, finely tapered spine, and thin edges. His career in knife-making began at Asai Hamono in 1998. He then worked at Kamotou Hamono alongside Shiro Kamo in 1999, before establishing Yamamoto Uchi Hamono in 2013. By 2019, Yamamoto received the Dento Kougeishu certification and is a member of the Takefu Knife Village Association.

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.
