Masakage Yuki Gyuto 21 cm Shirogami #2

The Masakage Yuki Gyuto Chef's Knife, with a length of 210 mm, is a versatile tool that works wonderfully for a variety of culinary tasks. It is not limited to chopping, but also excels at cutting larger pieces of meat.

The unique Masakage Yuki knives are the result of the extremely precise work of Master Yoshimi Kato from the picturesque village of Takefu Knife Village and the excellent sharpening skills of Takayuki Shibata. They are made using Shirogami #2 carbon steel, which allows for the creation of an exceptionally durable core surrounded by two layers of stainless steel in a San Mai construction. A precisely controlled heat treatment process gives the blades an extraordinary hardness of 62-63 HRC. The subtle Nashiji finish not only gives the knives a unique look, but also guarantees unmatched cutting performance.

The Yuki knife collection also features a unique, oval handle made of beautiful magnolia wood, which provides a comfortable grip, and a decorative red pakka wood ferrule. The name of the series, Yuki, which means “snow” in Japanese, perfectly captures the character of Masakage Yuki knives. The Nashiji-style finish resembles the texture of snow, and the combination of white and red on the handle gives the knives a unique “winter” charm. Each knife is handmade, giving the entire collection a unique and distinctive character.

The Masakage Yuki Gyuto 210 mm is not just a kitchen tool, it is a true masterpiece of art that brings both unparalleled functionality and aesthetics to your kitchen. Discover the unique character of these knives, and enjoy the precision and tradition of Japanese culinary craftsmanship.
