These are in high demand. One per customer, please.
Togatta means pointed or sharp in Japanese, and the name fits: this 240mm version of the Enjin gyuto carries a more pronounced, forward-swept tip than the standard 210mm, giving the blade a longer, more aggressive profile that cooks working with larger cuts of protein, whole fish, or extended vegetable prep will find efficient and direct. Kyohei Shindo forges these alone in Kami City, Kochi Prefecture. The Enjin line started with smaller formats and Mark at CKTG asked Shindo-san specifically to add longer gyutos for customers who wanted more reach - this Togatta is the result.
With a 249mm blade length and a 50mm height, the Togatta Gyuto is the largest full-double-bevel knife in the Enjin range. The 5mm spine at the heel gives it substance for sustained work, while the distal taper keeps the tip responsive. SRK8 carbon steel core at HRC 63+, clad in soft iron, san mai hammer-forged construction. The kurouchi (black as-forged) finish transitions to sandblasted matte on the lower blade road, with the polished SRK8 core visible at the edge - the same layered surface treatment that defines every Enjin knife.
Care Instructions: SRK8 is a reactive carbon steel - wipe and dry after every use. Avoid acidic foods and moisture. Apply camellia oil for storage. Hand wash only. Sharpen on quality water stones; strop regularly.
Each knife is made by hand so measurements may vary.Brand: Enjin
