Product details
The Gyuto chef's knife by Mitsumoto Sakari combines the artistic tradition of Japanese blacksmithing with modern technological advancements. Each of these hand-forged knives undergoes a detailed manufacturing process that lasts over 45 days, combining proven techniques with fine hammering and precise shaping, resulting in a distinctive texture and unparalleled sharpness. The significant high-carbon 9CR18MOV steel is refined through vacuum heat treatment and nitrogen cold treatment, achieving hardness levels of 58±2 HRC, which ensures corrosion resistance, rust protection, and toughness. The 2.5 mm ultra-thin blade allows for precise cuts that optimally preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables and the delicate structure of meat. The handle made of fine summer sourwood, a rosewood from Southeast Asia, offers ergonomic and balanced handling, minimizing wrist strain and allowing for flexible adjustment of cutting angles.
