Muneishi Kurouchi Gyuto 18 cm Aogami

The Muneishi Chef's Knife, with a blade length of 180 mm, is versatile for all kinds of culinary tasks. It is recommended for most kitchen work.

The excellent Muneishi professional kitchen knives are known primarily for their exceptionally precise blade profile. This is due to the use of a special Warikomi technique – the hard core of the knives, made of Aogami #2 carbon steel, is surrounded by soft iron cladding. Thanks to heat treatment, the blades achieve a high hardness of 63-64 HRC. Both the heat treatment process and the heat treatment of Muneishi knives make them easy to sharpen. An additional advantage is the fact that they retain their sharpness for a long time. The unique, raw character of each knife is achieved through the black Kurouchi finish. The oval-shaped handle is made of cherry wood and has an aesthetic, red ferrule.

It is recommended to take care of Muneishi knives after each use – they need to be washed and dried to prevent the blade from rusting.
