Masakage Koishi Aogami Super Gyuto 240mm Japanese Chef Knife - High Carbon Steel Blade for Professional Cooking, Slicing & Precision Cutting

Masakage Koishi Stainless Clad Aogami Super Kurouchi Tsuchime 240mm Gyuto

The Masakage Koishi 240mm Gyuto is the go-to choice for knife enthusiasts seeking a balance between performance and craftsmanship. With a blade length just under 10 inches, it's perfect for tackling large ingredients like heads of lettuce, while maintaining the finesse required for mincing onions or delicate herbs.

Handcrafted in Echizen, Japan, this gyuto features Aogami Super Steel, hardened to an impressive 63-65 Rockwell. The steel composition ensures it takes a razor-sharp edge and holds that edge far longer than most knives. The blade’s gently sloping belly makes it ideal for both chopping and rocking techniques, offering versatility in any kitchen setting.

The striking Kurouchi finish adds a rustic aesthetic that sets the knife apart from polished competitors, while the hammer-forged tsuchime texture further enhances its traditional craftsmanship. Paired with an elegant cherry wood octagonal wa handle and a black pakka wood ferrule, the Koishi Gyuto is a stunning fusion of function and form.

This knife is hand engraved, showcasing the artistry of master Japanese blacksmiths, and its well-balanced, lightweight design ensures comfort during extended use. Whether you're a professional or an enthusiast, the Masakage Koishi 240mm Gyuto delivers unparalleled cutting performance with a distinct, eye-catching design.
