The Moritaka Supreme 210mm Gyuto is another fine example of the maker's skill in applying a 50/50 grind to a traditional Japanese profile, enhancing versatility and ease of use while creating an ambidextrous cutting experience. Gyutos are prized for their adaptability, excelling in a wide range of kitchen tasks and earning a permanent place in many chefs' knife rolls. The pointed tip and smooth push-pull cutting action make it a natural choice for both precision and speed. For those who appreciate the gyuto profile but have limited workspace, this 210mm version offers all the utility of a full-sized chef's knife in a more compact form.
At the heart of the Moritaka Supreme line is expertly heat-treated Aogami Super steel, renowned for its ability to take and hold a razor-sharp edge. This high-carbon core is clad in soft iron and finished with a rustic kurouchi texture that, while still reactive, provides improved resistance to corrosion. With over 700 years of forging tradition, Moritaka Hamono produces some of the most distinctive knives available—offering outstanding performance, premium materials, and hand-crafted character at remarkable value.
