Suien 240mm VC Gyuto

The Gesshin Stainless 210mm Wa-Gyuto is an exclusive item for Japanese Knife Imports. We designed this from a sketch on paper all the way through to the final product. The steel is AUS-8 at about 58-59 HRC, so it will sharpen easily and have very good toughness (resistance to chipping). It is also relatively thin behind the edge, so it will move through food pretty easily, with very little wedging. The neck of the knife is a bit longer, helping to make the pinch grip a bit more comfortable. The handle is an American cherry oval handle, with an inner copper ring for stability over time.  It also comes with a ho wood saya, which features a very useful feature... the pin is attached by a string.

We hope this knife serves you well.  We think it will make a great first Japanese knife, a good workhorse for home cooks and professionals alike, and will provide a very nice balance of cutting performance with ease of use and care.

The Gesshin Stainless 240mm Wa-Gyuto is an exclusive item for Japanese Knife Imports. It was only a matter of time before we dropped this knife. Hot on the heels of the 210mm, this is more of the same... 30mm more. The steel is AUS-8 at about 58-59 HRC, so it will sharpen easily and have very good toughness (resistance to chipping). It is also relatively thin behind the edge, so it will move through food pretty easily, with very little wedging. The neck of the knife is a bit longer, helping to make the pinch grip a bit more comfortable. The handle is an American cherry oval handle, with an inner copper ring for stability over time.

The Matsu Stainless line is a series made in the Seki region. This series features extremely thin geometry in 18-8 stainless steel at 58-59 HRC. These knives have nice convex taper from spine to edge and feature western handles made of pakkawood. Despite how thin they are, they are still on the tough and durable side of things here at the store, and will be great for home cooks and professionals needing workhorse knives alike. Being as thin as they are, they are also great introductions for people looking to experience "laser" grinds as well. We are happy to introduce this to our lineup and we hope you enjoy these as much as we do.
