Operating from a traditional workshop in Kajicho, Tokyo, Yoshitomo built functional, no-nonsense kitchen cutlery representing the distinct urban blacksmithing tradition of the capital - separate from the more famous southern hubs of Sakai and Seki. The workshop closed in the early 2000s, making authentic Sukehisa blades prized new-old-stock finds. Collectors and professional chefs seek them out for their incredible carbon-steel performance and the story they carry of mid-20th-century Tokyo knife culture. At 300mm, this gyuto is a serious slicer - and this example has never been used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash individually - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a fine whetstone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a Japanese water stone (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in original box or on a magnetic rack - never loose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55496349024547,"sku":"VTG-GENSUKEHISA-GYUTO-300MM-2239","price":170.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/B815B8E4-FF41-48AC-A98F-23105BB4BF84.jpg?v=1787471537","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-gensukehisa-gyuto-300mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
