These are in high demand--limit two per customer.
This line from Masutani-san features VG10 stainless steel. Masutani is a small blacksmith shop located in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture. They are a new addition to our CKTG store, but they are already gaining some very favorable reviews for providing really good quality products at some incredibly low prices. This particular gyuto is a perfect choice for home cooks or pro chefs looking for an easy-to-use and low-maintenance knife. One that will not require large work surfaces or spaces. And one that will be nimble and easy to control.
The basic profile is that of a pretty standard gyuto. A small flat area at the back with a gently curved belly. As such, it will be a good choice for cutting styles of all kinds. The blade has a softer stainless steel outer cladding to enhance protection, aid with food release, and increase the aesthetic appeal. A black pakka wood single-piece western-style handle is mated to the stainless bolster and attached with two stainless pins.
This knife is easily one of the best values on our site!
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry immediately after use. VG10 is a stainless steel - resistant to corrosion and easy to maintain. Avoid the dishwasher, bones, frozen foods, and hard squash. Use a wood or rubber cutting board. Sharpen on quality water stones.
What Customers Are Saying: Reviewers frequently compare this gyuto favorably to established brands, with several noting it outperforms Shun and Miyabi at a higher price point, and one longtime Henckels user calling the Damascus construction a real step up. Multiple customers describe it as an ideal first Japanese knife, sharp out of the box and easy to live with day to day.Blacksmith: Masutani
