Specifications

The 220mm Yoshihide Masuda Shirogami #2 Damascus Tall Gyuto is a handcrafted Japanese chef’s knife, forged by Yoshihide Masuda. Featuring a stunning twisted damascus pattern, it has been deep-etched to create a tactile surface.

With a 223mm cutting edge length and a generous 62mm blade height, this tall gyuto provides ample knuckle clearance during use. Designed as a true workhorse, the knife carries a hefty and authoritative presence, ensuring confident handling.

For collectors looking to add something distinctive to their set, this tall gyuto is a standout piece—especially for those who appreciate fine damascus craftsmanship.

Yoshihide Masuda, born in 1976, is the third-generation owner of Masuda Hamono, a knife-making workshop in Sanjo City, Japan, established in the late 1940s. Joining the family business in 2017, he works alongside his father, Ken Masuda, a designated Traditional Craftsman. Since then, Yoshihide has distinguished himself in crafting high-quality kiridashi knives and introducing innovations.

In 2023, he embarked on a project to expand the workshop’s offerings, leading to the release of a select number of kitchen knives in 2024, featuring striking twisted damascus patterns—showcasing his remarkable skill in traditional Japanese blacksmithing techniques.
