Masahiro Virgin Carbon 9.5 in. (240mm) Wide Santoku
The Masahiro Carbon 9.5 in. (240mm) Wide Santoku cuts smoothly and precisely through fruits and vegetables. A Santoku, like a Chef Knife or Gyuto, is used as an all purpose kitchen knife. This is a very unique knife in that I've never seen a santoku this large. The steel is 3mm thick at the spine and is very smoothly tapered to the edge, with a long single bevel. 2 1/2 inches width from spine to heel and 12 ounce weight. This wide Santoku is a real work horse with a screaming sharp edge that enable you to go from splitting chickens to mincing chives. Highly recommended. Made in Japan. Learn More$192.00 -
Masahiro Virgin Carbon 8.25 in. (210mm) Gyuto
The Masahiro Virgin Carbon 210mm Gyuto is one of chef David's favorite knives. A reliable workhorse with scalpel like precision. The asymetrical shape of this knife drops through food with remarkable ease, pushing each slice cleanly from the blade. This blade size is an excellent choice for line cooks who don't have the space to accomodate a larger knife. This knife takes a beautiful edge that can be maintained between sharpenings with a quality honing steel. We highly recommend this knife, it is one of our most popular models (with good reason)!
