Muneishi Kurouchi Gyuto 240mm Aogami

The 240 mm Muneishi chef’s knife is characterized by its versatility. It can be used for most kitchen tasks.

Muneishi kitchen knives are a professional series that is recognizable thanks to the precise blade profile. All thanks to the use of a unique production technique called Warikomi. Soft iron claddings are used here, surrounding a hard core made of Aogami #2 carbon steel. The knives obtain the appropriate hardness thanks to the hardening process and ultimately achieve as much as 63-64 HRC. Thanks to hardening and heat treatment, Muneishi knives are easy to sharpen. In addition, they stay sharp for a long time. Additionally, the knives gain a unique, raw character thanks to the black Kurouchi finish. The oval handle of these knives is made of cherry wood, and it is additionally finished with a very nice red ferrule.

After each use of a Muneishi knife, it must be properly cared for. It must be washed and dried to prevent rusting.
