The Yoshikazu Tanaka AS Tall Gyuto 240mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife forged by Sakai blacksmith Yoshikazu Tanaka. Made as a custom order placed in March 2022, this knife features a taller heel and slightly thicker spine than standard Sakai gyutos.
The blade’s convex grind and behind-the-edge thinness contribute to its cutting performance. The sharpening work reflects the precision expected from Sakai’s experienced craftsmen.
Like other Sakai custom orders, it has a minimalist bokashi finish and a classic octagonal magnolia handle.
*The 210mm version has kanji only on the left side, while the 240mm ended up with kanji on both sides due to a stamping error. This layout was a previous option, so it was retained.
Handle: Octagonal magnolia with blonde horn ferrule
Hand Orientation: Ambidextrous
Saya/Sheath: Not included
Additional Notes:
For the care and maintenance of Tanaka AS knives, please refer to our care guide below.
Slight measurement variations are typical in handcrafted Japanese kitchen knives.
Handcrafted knives may have minor cosmetic variations, such as light surface marks or fine scuffs.
