Touroku Sakai Yoshikazu Shirogami Kurouchi Gyuto 240mm
About Touroku Sakai Yoshikazu Shirogami KurouchiĀ - These knives are a little thicker, a little more rustic on the fit and finish that other knives you may have seen from Yoshikazu Tanaka , but they scream āClassic Japanese Knifeā.Ā
About Yoshikazu Tanaka - Yoshikazu Tanaka is a blacksmith in Sakai, considered to be one of the best blacksmiths in the region. One thing that differentiates him from the other blacksmiths, is that he uses pine charcoal when he quenches knives, which heats the knives more slowly and gently. He also only forges 30 knives a day, which may sound like a lot but is actually half as many as a lot of blacksmiths. Additionally, he is one of only a few blacksmiths in Sakai who use a tempering kiln for tempering his knives.
About the Shape - Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, Gyutos are a multi purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. āGyutoā translates to ācow sword.ā If you want one knife to do it all, This is it. Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.
