Continuing the legacy of his father, at 80 years old, still sharpens knives for the local community Hinake-san upholds a tradition of excellence in knife-making. This gyuto features a high-performance ZDP-189 steel core, heat-treated to an impressive HRC 65+ for exceptional edge retention.

This Sukenari ZDP189 240mm gyuto is the best I've used (yes there are better, more expensive ones but I wouldn't use them on a daily basis haha). The build quality is just outstanding as always, feels excellent in hand, and the length can just deal with almost everything. My new daily gyuto!
