Kyohei Kurouchi Gyuto 21 cm Keyaki Aogami

The Kyohei Kurouchi Gyuto 21 cm Keyaki Aogami Knife is an excellent choice for those looking for a versatile and reliable kitchen tool. Gyuto, a Japanese-style kitchen knife, combines the features of a chef's knife with exceptional cutting precision, making it suitable for a wide range of applications – from cutting meat and vegetables to precisely chopping herbs. With a length of 21 cm and exceptional sharpness, this knife allows for convenient and effective preparation of various dishes.

The blade of the knife is made of Aogami #2 steel, which is characterized by exceptional hardness of 62 HRC. Thanks to the use of Aogami #2 carbon steel, the knife stays sharp longer and is less likely to crack or sustain damage. This steel is more resistant to wear and tear, making the knife ideal for everyday use in the kitchen, ensuring high-quality cutting for a long time. The Kurouchi finish of the blade not only gives it a unique look, but also protects it from rust. The dark protective layer protects the blade from corrosion and also facilitates maintenance, although it is important to take proper care of the knife after use by cleaning and drying it regularly.

The knife handle is made of Keyaki wood, which is valued for its durability and moisture resistance. Keyaki wood provides a secure grip, and its natural structure makes the knife fit comfortably in the hand, allowing for precise and comfortable cutting. In addition, the handle has been enriched with a plastic ferrule, which ensures the stability of the entire structure and protects against mechanical damage, increasing the durability of the knife.

The Kyohei Kurouchi Gyuto 21 cm knife is an indispensable tool in any kitchen. Ideal for precise cutting and slicing, it stands out for both its functionality and aesthetics. The use of high-quality materials, such as Aogami #2 steel and Keyaki wood, makes it a product that will satisfy even the most demanding users. If you want a knife that combines exceptional sharpness with ease of maintenance, the Kyohei Kurouchi Gyuto is a great choice.
