These knives are suitable for both professional and home cooks alike. They are very chip-resistant, stainless, and lightweight. They come with very nice octagonal handles and matching saya. These are VG1 at about 60hrc. The changes in the steel, heat treatment, and grind help these knives move through food more easily, sharpen more easily, and hold their edge longer. They are still very tough and durable, but slightly less so than the normal Gesshin Uraku series. The handles on these knives come with either black, marble, or blonde buffalo horn. We cannot take specific requests, but feel free to check with us about what we have in stock.

Our Gesshin Uraku line represents a great value in kitchen cutlery. For a long time, we have been searching for a line of single bevel knives with a great balance of quality and value. We’ve finally found them. This Gesshin Uraku line fits the bill perfectly. These knives are made of white #2 steel with a kasumi finish. They come with ho wood octagonal handles and matching ho wood saya. Unlike many low-cost single bevel knives, these ones are very well finished and have significantly fewer problems than lower cost knives (all knives have some imperfections…even high-end knives…but these have less high and low spots, less sharp non-cutting edges, less prevalence of wavy backs, less prevalence of torsional twisting, etc.) The handles on these knives come with either black, marble, or blonde buffalo horn. We cannot take specific requests, but feel free to check with us about what we have in stock.

These knives are great for beginners and for professionals looking for a great, functional work knife. We hope you enjoy this line from Gesshin Uraku.

As these knives are carbon steel, they will need to be cared for as such.  You can read more in our about knife care section.  Carbon steel can rust if not cared for properly, so please make sure to clean and dry your knife after use.
