Minonokuni Homura 240mm Ao-Ko Wa-Gyuto

Blue Steel (Ao-Ko) Core – Known for its exceptional purity and fine grain structure, Ao-Ko takes an incredibly keen edge and maintains sharpness longer than most steels, making it ideal for extended prep sessions.

Stainless-Clad Construction – The stainless outer layers protect the blade from moisture and oxidation, offering the performance benefits of carbon steel with significantly reduced maintenance requirements.

Hand-Forged Craftsmanship – Each Homura gyuto is individually crafted by skilled Japanese artisans, resulting in subtle variations that reflect traditional forging methods and attention to detail.

240mm Gyuto Profile – A longer blade length provides increased cutting efficiency and knuckle clearance, excelling at push cuts, long slicing motions, and breaking down larger ingredients.

Balanced, Nimble Feel – Designed with an optimized weight distribution that delivers power through the cut while remaining agile and fatigue-reducing during long prep work.

Traditional Wa Handle – The octagonal Sandalwood handle offers natural warmth and tactile comfort, while the Blackwood ferrule adds strength, durability, and visual contrast.

Versatile Daily Driver – Equally suited for vegetables, proteins, and herbs, this gyuto adapts seamlessly to both professional kitchens and serious home setups.

Refined Yet Practical – Blends the heritage of Japanese knife-making with modern usability, making it approachable for cooks who want high performance without demanding upkeep.
