Masakage Koishi Chef's Knife "Gyuto" 210mm Aogami Super

The Masakage Koishi Gyuto chef's knife, which has a 210 mm blade length, is versatile for culinary tasks. It is suitable not only for chopping but also for cutting larger pieces of meat.

Handmade Masakage Koishi knives are works of master Yoshimi Kato representing Takefu Knife Village. This collection is made using Aogami Super steel, from which the core is produced with a hardness reaching 63-65 HRC. The blades in the San Mai construction consist of the mentioned core as well as stainless steel, which covers both sides. These knives have an octagonal cherry wood handle adorned with a pakkawood ferrule. The word Koishi translates to stones – the hammered finish of the blades (Tsuchime) gives them a unique appearance resembling river pebbles, which is where the collection's name comes from. The entire series holds a very high position among Masakage knives because it features extremely hard and sharp blades. The handmade method of making each knife contributes to their uniqueness.
