Experience the cutting performance of top-tier Japanese craftsmanship with the Yahiko AS Kuro Tsuchime Gyuto. This 210mm gyuto is handcrafted in Tosa, Japan, and features a core of premium Aogami Super (AS) steel—one of the finest carbon steels available—known for its outstanding edge retention and sharpness.
The blade is clad in stainless steel for added corrosion resistance and durability. A striking kurouchi (black) finish combined with a tsuchime (hammered) texture not only gives the knife a rustic aesthetic but also helps with food release during prep work.
This knife is fitted with an upgraded octagonal handle made from sakura (cherry wood), paired with a sleek black pakka wood ferrule. The handle is lightweight, well-balanced, and comfortable in hand—suitable for both right- and left-handed users thanks to its even 50/50 grind.
A perfect choice for chefs and enthusiasts seeking a high-performance carbon steel knife with a traditional look and modern usability.Brand: Yahiko
