This knife was used and returned to us. We have applied our sharpening service to this knife and are now offering it for sale at a discount.
Kohetsu is a line of knives we are having made in Sanjo City by a top, but undisclosed, blacksmith shop. We created these knives to fill a need for easy to use and maintain kitchen knives that look great but are easy on the wallet.
We specified SLD semi-stainless tool steel as the core element due to its great edge taking and edge holding properties. Hardened to 61-62 HRC, the SLD core steel balances acute bevel taking with a high level of toughness to withstand the daily rigors of the busiest kitchens. The SLD core is wrapped in a stainless steel cladding. The laminate is given a great looking lattice pattern that is quite unique.
This is a knife for smaller hands, smaller cutting boards, or smaller spaces. However, it is anything but small in terms of its abilities. This is a big performer capable of tackling pretty much any normal kitchen cutting task. Most vegetables or proteins can be easily handled with a blade this size. In fact, the shorter and lighter size of this gyuto give it a quality that feels fast and nimble. We have recently upgraded the knife with new walnut octagonal handle with black pakka wood ferrule further enhancing its already great value.Brand: Kohetsu
