Professional Specifications
- Blade Steel: Masahiro Proprietary High-Carbon Steel (non-stainless). Celebrated for its extreme sharpness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening.
- Edge Grind: Asymmetrical Grind for Left-Handed Users. This specialized edge geometry (often a 70/30 ratio) provides optimal performance and prevents the blade from veering during cuts.
- Blade Profile: 8.25-inch (210mm) Gyuto. The classic Japanese chef's knife, designed for versatile use in slicing, dicing, and mincing.
- Handle: Traditional Honoki (Magnolia) Wood Handle with a durable resin bolster, offering a lightweight, comfortable, and authentic feel.
- Country of Origin: Expertly crafted in Seki, Japan—a city with a centuries-old legacy of blade-making.
- The Carbon Steel Commitment: This is a reactive blade. To prevent rust and maintain its integrity, it must be washed by hand and dried thoroughly immediately after every use. A light coating of food-safe mineral oil is recommended for storage. This care is the hallmark of a true enthusiast's tool.
