Shimotsukuni Kogetsu White #1 All Steel Honyaki Ogonshoku Series Gyuto
Description
The Ogonshoku series by Kogetsu, is crafted from pure White #1 steel. The blade inscription and bolster are inlaid with brass to create a golden inscription, presenting an auspicious atmosphere.
The inlaying and soldering of brass are done using the traditional low-temperature soldering technique from the Meiji era.
This process involves unpredictable risks during the quenching and tempering, making it a labor-intensive operation that requires skilled expertise.
Due to the handcrafted nature of the product, there may be slight differences in each batch, and we appreciate your understanding.
In addition to being the favorite tool of Western chefs, the Gyuto is also suitable as an all-purpose knife for Japanese cuisine. Ideal for cutting meat, it can also be used for slicing vegetables, processing fish, and even assisting in preparing sashimi.
For home use, the Gyuto with a blade length of 18cm to 21cm is recommended, while professional Western chefs typically prefer a length of 24cm.
