Description

Handle: Ebony Octagonal Handle with Buffalo Horn Ferrule

This product comes with a Magnolia wood Saya.

This Gyuto (Wide Blade Sujihiki) is made from hard, sharp, and wear-resistant Blue #2 high carbon steel. It undergoes three-layer forging and is finished with the highly challenging "Hon-Kasumi" hand sharpening technique. It is truly a rare and exquisite Gyuto.

The "Double-Beveled Kiritsuke Gyuto" can be considered a combination of four types of knives: Santoku, Wa-Gyuto, Sujihiki, and Usuba.

The straight edge of the Kiritsuke blade also functions like an Usuba, allowing it to peel and shred daikon radishes. The sharp tip enables precise and delicate cuts, making it a versatile and convenient knife.

Thanks to the craftsmanship of Sakai artisans, the blade remains tough even when ground extremely thin. Cutting only requires minimal force, preventing the tearing or pressing of ingredients, which preserves the fibers of the food.

How to Maintain High Carbon Steel Knives

After use, simply wipe the knives dry. Please do not use a dishwasher to clean the knives. If you plan not to use the knives for an extended period, be sure to apply a thin layer of protective oil.

In the case of rust on the blade, you can use a rust eraser or a special 3M scrubber (only suitable for matte-finish knives). If there is minor rust on the mirror-finished parts, use rust removal paste and make sure to thoroughly remove any remaining residue with a Cleaning Naphtha to eliminate all chemical remnants from the blade.

Please use the knives for their intended purpose. Different knives are designed for slicing, chopping, or handling frozen foods. Do not use them for purposes beyond their intended use to avoid damaging the knives.

We highly recommend using EDCI's high-tech rust prevention spray to maintain your high carbon steel knives. EDCI rust prevention spray is made in the USA, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, poses no harm to the environment, and is non-flammable.

It is also a food-grade rust prevention spray, suitable for knives made of any type of steel. After spraying, it automatically forms a protective layer, and it can be used directly for cutting food without contaminating it. Users no longer need to worry about rust on their high carbon steel knives. EDCI is a game-changer for high carbon steel knife maintenance!
