Japanese Santoku for a very competitive price.
Ideal for a novice (home) cook who wants a Japanese knife for a reasonable price.
The VG-10 gyuto is made in Echizen Japan by Masutani san. Masutani is 73 years old and has been making knives for 58 years. Together with his apprentices, he constantly tries new techniques to make his knives even more affordable on the market. His goal; in every kitchen a good sharp knife that makes preparing food easier and more fun.
The hard VG-10 steel is protected by several layers of softer steel visible as patterns on the blade. This makes the knife more flexible and protects it from rust. The knife is then worked with a hammer (tsuchime). The resulting grooves on the blade reduce sticking while cutting.
The royal blue handle has a western design and feels instantly familiar. The half tang is not visible at the bottom so you don't feel it when you grip the knife. Between the handle and the blade is a crop of stainless steel.
The Masutani knives excel in quality/price ratio. H
- Comes sharp out of the box
