Anryu Tsutchime Gyuto 21 cm Aogami #2

The Anryu Tsutchime Gyuto 21 cm Aogami #2 is a classic Japanese chef's knife that combines traditional blacksmithing with modern technologies. The Gyuto model is versatile, ideal for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables, and works well in both home and professional kitchens.

The 21.1 cm blade is made of high-carbon Aogami #2 (Blue Paper Steel), renowned for its exceptional sharpness and cutting edge durability. The core is coated with a layer of stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance. The hammered Tsuchime finish not only gives the knife a unique look, but also reduces the adhesion of ingredients to the blade, making work easier.

The handle is made of rosewood with an elegant Pakka wood ferrule for a comfortable and secure grip. Its classic shape allows for comfortable use for both right- and left-handed users.

Each Anryu Tsutchime Gyuto knife is a handmade work of art by master blacksmith Katsushige Anryu, who has been continuing his family's craft traditions for over 50 years. It is an excellent choice for those looking for an authentic Japanese kitchen knife that will impress with its quality and precision cutting.
