Masashi Damascus Kuro Gyuto 21 cm SLD

The Masashi Damascus Kuro Gyuto 21 cm SLD is an excellent chef's knife that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern steel processing techniques. Its versatile shape makes it suitable for precise cutting of vegetables, filleting fish, and portioning meat. The slim, perfectly balanced blade allows for smooth and comfortable cutting, and the unique finish gives it a distinctive character.

The heart of the knife is SLD steel, known for its exceptional durability and abrasion resistance. With a hardness of 63-64 HRC, the blade retains its sharpness for a long time, while offering ease of re-sharpening. Stainless steel cladding increases corrosion resistance and ensures the longevity of the tool.

The hand-crafted Kurouchi finish, which gives the blade a raw, artisanal look, combined with the Damascus pattern, creates not only an aesthetic but also a functional solution - it minimizes the sticking of cut products. Each knife is unique, making it stand out from mass production.

The handle, made of magnolia wood, combined with a buffalo horn bolster provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip and excellent balance. The traditional Japanese wa-style handle makes the knife light and fits perfectly in the hand, allowing for long-lasting, precise work without fatigue.

The Masashi Damascus Kuro Gyuto 21 cm SLD is the choice for those who value precision, reliability, and unique design. Every cut with this knife provides real feedback – whether you are cooking in a professional kitchen or in the comfort of your own home.
