Specifications
The Yu Kurosaki HAP40 Gekko Kiritsuke Gyuto 240mm is a top-quality Japanese kitchen knife, expertly crafted by renowned blacksmith Yu Kurosaki in Echizen, Japan. Featuring a HAP40 steel core, this knife delivers exceptional edge retention, making it ideal for prolonged use with minimal sharpening. This batch of Gekko series knives will be the last to feature HAP40 steel, as Kurosaki transitions to VG-XEOS for future releases.
While classified as a kiritsuke gyuto, this knife does not have the typical flat profile of a kiritsuke. Instead, it maintains the versatile profile of a gyuto, offering agility for a variety of cutting techniques. Perfect for slicing, dicing, and chopping, this gyuto is suited for both professional and home kitchens.
