Anryu Damascus Kurouchi Gyuto 21 cm Shirogami

The Anryu Damascus Kurouchi Gyuto 21 cm Shirogami is a professional chef's knife with a blade length of 21.5 cm, ideal for precise cutting. Its versatility makes it perfect for everyday use, both in professional and home kitchens.

The blade is made of Japanese Shirogami #2 carbon steel, valued for its high hardness (63 HRC) and exceptional ability to retain its sharpness. The core of the knife is protected by a layered Damascus cladding, which gives it both strength and an aesthetic appearance. The Kurouchi finish further enhances corrosion resistance, and the dark color of the blade reduces food adhesion, making the knife easier to use.

Over time, a natural patina appears on the surface of the blade, which is a characteristic feature of carbon steel. This process not only increases rust resistance, but also adds a unique, personal character to the knife.

The knife handle is made of rosewood, which ensures a comfortable grip and adequate durability. Thanks to its well-balanced design, the Anryu Damascus Kurouchi Gyuto 21 cm allows for precise and comfortable cutting during long hours of work in the kitchen.

The Anryu Damascus Kurouchi Gyuto 21 cm Shirogami is the choice for those who are looking for a tool with high quality workmanship, durability, and reliable sharpness that will prove itself in professional cooking and everyday meal preparation.
