Our handmade Yoshihiro Blue High Carbon Steel #2 Series Gyuto Japanese Multipurpose Knife stands at the pinnacle of performance. It exemplifies intricate techniques of forging, layering, and hammering, embodying the traditional Japanese craft known as Kurouchi, which refers to black forged knives.

This unique forging style features an unpolished rustic finish, showcasing the craftsmanship behind each knife. With a hardness rating of 62-63 on the Rockwell scale, the inner core of Blue High Carbon Steel #2 is renowned for its exceptional edge retention. The Kurouchi Series is meticulously finished and polished, surpassing our standard Yoshihiro Kurouchi knives in quality.

The Gyuto knife is the most versatile and essential tool in any cook's arsenal. Its curved blade allows for a smooth rocking motion and an extended tip for quick chopping, making it ideal for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables.

Preparing delicious meals begins with selecting wholesome ingredients and using the best tools available. A high-quality chef's knife transforms every meal into something special. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from the farmer's market to carving a roast chicken right out of the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.

WARNING: KNIFE CAN BE OXIDIZED WITHOUT PROPER CARE. RECOMMENDED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.

We recommend purchasing with a Custom-Cut Saya Knife Cover Sheath for optimal protection.
