Masamoto


Masamoto ST Series Gyuto (180mm to 300mm, 5 sizes)

Availability: Normally ships within 1 to 2 days


The Chrome Molybdenum Vanadium high carbon stainless steel blade of Masamoto’s ST Series is Sub-Zero quenched during heat-treatment. This allows their HRc. 62 blade to be much tougher and more resistant to damage than conventional blades and improves edge retention.

This knife uses a full tang construction and has a stainless steel bolster, which improves blade balance. The black Pakka wood (Resin-stabilized wood composite) handle scales is permanently riveted to the tang and are both water- resistant and bacteria-resistant, which makes them ideal for use in professional kitchens. The edges of the handle and bolster have also been rounded-off to allow a comfortable, secure grip.

The blade is fully hand-sharpened by Masamoto’s craftsmen, so you can experience its extreme sharpness and high cutting performance straight from the box!

The Gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western Chef’s knife. It can be used with a variety of different cutting techniques to achieve a wide range of kitchen tasks and is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. The Gyuto is true multi-purpose knife.

For your information, most of the Japanese Kitchen knives come originally with double bevel edge sharpened 70/30 (face side/back side) for Western style knives. This geometry came from Japanese Traditional knives with single bevel edge and Shinogi blade construction. This is one of the special features and reasons why Japanese knives have an excellent cutting performance.

 However, this 70/30 edge geometry is designed for right hand use, so we have a service to modify it to 30/70 for left handed users with re-sharpening process by skilled craftsman.

We believe quality and performance of Japanese knives are best in the world and hope you enjoy the fine craftsmanship and spirits from your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife can be your special cooking partner for a long time.
