Description: This handmade-style 165mm gyuto blends a compact, nimble profile with traditional Japanese materials and bold presentation. It features a kasumi-polished blade with hand-etched kanji, paired with a lightweight magnolia wa-handle and protective plastic saya — great for line cooks, home chefs, or anyone looking to level up from basic stainless.
The double bevel edge gives it broad appeal, and the relatively short blade makes it feel fast and agile in tight prep spaces.
--- Stamped with 本鍛造 (hon-tan-zō), meaning “true forged” — though likely machine forged and hand-finished — this is a great everyday cutter.

Professionally sharpened and ready to go. Great for first-time Japanese knife buyers or pros in need of a quick, reliable hitter.
