The Washiji Difference

Swedish stainless steel is prized in Japanese knife-making for its purity and fine grain structure - it takes a sharp edge, holds it well, and is easy to maintain. The washiji finish gives the blade a fine, textured surface that reduces drag and food adhesion during cutting, while the stepped grind keeps the blade thin behind the edge for clean, precise cuts. At 210mm, this gyuto is the most versatile length in the kitchen - long enough for most prep tasks, short enough to stay agile. The octagonal magnolia handle with buffalo horn ferrule is lightweight and well-balanced, with a traditional Japanese Wa profile that suits both pinch and handle grips.

Care and Maintenance
