Hand-forged in Echizen, Japan by Yoshimi Kato, this 210mm gyuto has an Aogami Super core with stainless steel cladding and a nashiji finish. This Japanese chef's knife holds an edge longer than most carbon steels. Stainless cladding makes maintenance easier. Only the exposed core steel will develop patina over time. The spine is nicely rounded and polished. It is lightweight and nimble, suited to everyday cutting tasks.

Minor variations in finish, surface marks, and measurements are normal in handcrafted Japanese knives.

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.
