The Masutani Gyuto kitchen knife, with a blade length of 180 mm, is considered the Japanese equivalent of a traditional chef’s knife. It will be useful for most kitchen tasks.
Recommended Japanese Masutani knives are made by hand by a talented blacksmith from Echizen (Fukui prefecture). They have an excellent quality-to-price ratio and are often compared to much more expensive knives. The core of each knife is made of high-carbon stainless steel VG-1, while the outer layers are made of hammered steel, which is also responsible for the uniquely striking appearance of Masutani knives. The hardening process gives them a hardness in the range of 61 +/- 1 HRC. This contributes to their additional, important advantage, which is the fact that they maintain sharpness for a long time. The pakkawood handle is resistant to both moisture and temperature. They can certainly be recommended to all people who enjoy home cooking and beginners who are just starting to use Japanese knives.
