Description

Black Gyuto knife made by Mr. Hirotaka Muneishi. He is the second generation of Muneishi cutlery Founded in 1955 and certified as a national traditional craftsman by the Japanese government.

This knife is made using traditional methods that have been used since the samurai era, and the blade retains the natural black color that results from the forging process. It’s beautifully finished and you can feel the high skill of the craftsman.

This knife is sharper and easier to sharpen with a stone than a stainless steel knife, but it is easy to rust. Please wash and dry after use.

1. Blade Aogami#2 Steel : Many Japanese forged knife craftsmen traditionally prefer SHirogami#2 steel or Aogami#2 steel. Because it is suitable for forged handmade knives. The quality of the blade varies depending on the skill of the craftsman, but in general Aogami#2 steel is a higher grade than Shirogami#2. Since it is carbon steel (not stainless steel), it easily rusts. So please wash and dry after use.
2. Handle : Octagonal rosewood
