Description
Masutani Hamono has been producing high-quality kitchen knives for four generations in Echizen city. Their goal is to create high-quality blades at an accessible price point for anyone, and they’ve nailed it. Their blades are super accessible and cut like a dream, being lovingly shaped, polished, and handled by grandfather, father, and son.
VG1 is a high-quality stainless steel that is tough, durable, and corrosion-resistant. If you prioritize toughness and durability, VG1 might be a better choice than VG10. The blade’s stainless capability and the western handle made of blue pakkawood make this knife extremely easy to maintain. Fit and finish is excellent for a knife at this price range.
The shorter length of this gyuto is perfectly suited to chefs working with smaller ingredients or in restricted spaces. It is also a good length for novice knife users to hone their cutting skills. The reduced length also makes for a very rigid blade that feels quick and precise in use.
