Masakage Koishi Gyuto 21 cm Aogami Super

The Masakage Koishi Gyuto Chef's Knife, with a blade length of 210 mm, is versatile in culinary applications. It is suitable not only for chopping, but also for cutting larger pieces of meat.

Masakage Koishi handcrafted knives are the work of master craftsman Yoshimi Kato, representing Takefu Knife Village. This collection is made using Aogami Super Steel, which is used to produce a core with a hardness of 63-65 HRC. The San Mai blades consist of the aforementioned core and stainless steel, which is coated on both sides. These knives have an octagonal cherry wood handle, decorated with a pakka wood ferrule. The word Koishi refers to stones – the hammered finish of the blades (Tsuchime) gives them a unique appearance reminiscent of river pebbles, which is where the name of the collection comes from. The entire series ranks very high among Masakage knives because it features extremely hard and sharp blades. The handmade nature of each knife contributes to their uniqueness.
