Premium SLD Japanese Gyuto Chef Knife 240mm - High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade with Wa Handle for Professional Chefs & Home Cooking

Tokushu Knife Special Edition SLD Washiji Gyuto 240mm  

My appreciation for Semi-Stainless SLD steel in kitchen knives has been long-standing, sharing the pedestal with another personal favorite, Aogami Super Steel. It brings me great excitement to introduce these Gyutos, crafted from SLD steel, characterized by a distinctly slimmer profile, contrasting our which leans towards a workhorse-type design. SLD steel emerges as a commendable choice for those embarking on their Japanese knife journey. It also serves as a smooth transition for those acquainted with German-style knives, boasting a toughness that stands out amid traditional Japanese Steels, albeit demanding mindful care.

Washiji refers to the patter you see on the paper in Japan they use on doors and windows, as opposed to nashiji meaning (pear skin) finish. We have added a turquoise handle for a good looking knife at an excellent value.
