Specifications

The Hatsukokoro SKD Nashiji Kiritsuke Gyuto is crafted by Yoshikane Hamono in Sanjo, Japan. It is constructed with a core steel of SKD, a tool steel recognized for its impressive toughness and edge retention. This semi-stainless blade is complemented by an octagonal walnut handle with a horn ferrule. As a kiritsuke gyuto, it features a flatter profile suited for slicing and precision work, making it an excellent all-purpose knife for meat, fish, and vegetables.
