This Special Custom Order Mizuno Tanrenjo White Steel No.2 Wa-Gyuto knife shares the same blade shape and geometry as the popular "Masamoto KS-3124", 240mm Wa-Gyuto. Master Mizuno makes this knife with an especially thin blade cross-section and we think he has produced another fine & practical Wa-Gyuto !
Mizuno Tanrenjo Akitada Hon Kasumi White Steel No.2 Wa Gyuto knife is completely hand sharpened, polished and finished by especially skilled artisans, which results in extra edge sharpness and a more refined level of finish.
Its blade is made with soft iron and Hitachi Shirogami #2 (White Steel No.2) which is heat-treated to HRc. 62-63. Shirogami #2 is a high carbon Japanese steel that is renowned for its purity and is easy to sharpen to a very fine edge that can also retain its sharpness for a long time.
This knife is fitted with a traditional Japanese ‘D-shaped’ magnolia wood handle with a water buffalo horn ferrule / collar. This knife also includes a matching magnolia wood Saya (Sheath) for safekeeping.
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.
Notice about White and Marbled Water Buffalo Horn Ferrules for Mizuno Tanrenjo Knives
Unfortunately, Mizuno Tanrenjo and most other knife makers are now struggling to find the raw materials to make White or Marbled Water Buffalo Horn Ferrules for their knife handles.
Due to these difficult and unfortunate circumstances, we regret to inform our customers that Mizuno Tanrenjo is no longer able to accept requests for a specific color of Water Buffalo Horn Ferrule. However, we firmly believe in the high quality and craftsmanship of Mizuno Tanrenjo’s traditionally-forged Japanese knives - They are one of the most well-respected producers of traditionally-forged Japanese knives - and we highly recommend them!
Thank you very much for your understanding and attention.

Important
This is the Carbon steel blade kitchen knife that can get rust and discolor easily, and requires extra care and attention to prevent rust.
CanadaThis knife is the essence of beautiful performance. White steel is probably my favorite steel to put a screaming edge on. Combined with a factory profile that is just the right spine thickness for sturdiness, but ground for easy maintenance (every sharpening is a thinning as well) makes me love this knife very much. The slicing sensation of thinned out, screaming sharp white steel is like no other.
United StatesI've used this knife to prep some food and vegs for food around home. Great cutter with no food striction. Good geometry fit and finish. All around great knife.
United StatesRight out of the box super sharp and beautiful. I have been looking for a gyuto like this for some time now. This was the perfect fit for me.
