Yamashin White #1 Gyuto 240mm. This authentic Japanese traditional kitchen knife line features hand-forged double-layer white-paper steel blade (white #1) but is very reasonably priced.
These are every day kitchen knives that many good cooks love to use in Japan. They sharpen really well and hold a nice edge. The grinds on these knives for the money are impressive which makes them a great overall value. If you've never tried a good Japanese knife and don't want to spend a ton of money these would be an excellent choice. Care for carbon steel knives is simple. Just wipe them dry after you use them and don't let water or acid linger on the blade. The knife will patina over time adding to the great rustic look of these knives.
We upgraded these recently with a nice, extra-large walnut octagonal handle with black pakka wood ferrule. Great for those of you who have big hands and like a larger handle. Many of our pro users request large handles like these so we thought we would accommodate them.Weight: 5.8oz
Blade length: 240mm
Overall length: 400mm
Spine thickness at base: 2.8mm
Depth of blade at base: 50.39mm

I love this knife but it came pitted under the kurouchi finish. Doesnt affect the performance, very easy to sharpen. I was shaving with this within 5 mins on a 1000. this is my first high carbon (that ive owned, not used) and its my weapon of choice when it comes to working a line. Good knife for the price and you wont feel TOO bad about beating it up a little. great buy for beginning sharpeners looking to get into carbon steels and cooks who love the rugged, rustic aesthetic.

Nice and sharp, April 11, 2016Posted By: Kendall Phillips - verified customer
I bought this knife used. It looked a little chippy but i sharpened it from 800-5000grit and ground out the uneven part and it got super sharp in minutes. It has a nice pinch grip and choil relief. The handle is cheap but comfortable.
