Hitohira Togashi 240mm Kiritsuke Gyuto

Experience the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the Hitohira Togashi 240mm Kiritsuke Gyuto. This exquisite knife is a testament to the mastery of dentoukougeishi master smith Kenji Togashi and his son Kenya. Crafted in the renowned city of Sakai, this Kiritsuke Gyuto combines unparalleled skill with exceptional materials.

• Superior Edge Formation: The expertly ground blade offers a smooth cutting feel and forms a sharp edge with ease.
• Rustic Style: The natural kurouchi finish adds a unique, rustic aesthetic that enhances the knife's character.

Superior Craftsmanship and Heat Treatment

This Hitohira Togashi Kiritsuke Gyuto is more than just a tool; it's a work of art. The shirogami #2 forged steel, known for its exceptional sharpness and durability, is clad in finished iron for added strength. The octagonal Tagayasan (Wenge) wood handle not only provides a secure grip but also slightly reduces the weight of the knife, making it more balanced and easier to handle.

• Handmade in Sakai: Each knife is a unique piece, with variations in blade thickness and weight, as well as hammer marks visible in the kireba bevel.
• Secure Grip: The Tagayasan wood handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip, even when wet or greasy.

Unique Kurouchi Finish and Natural Variability

The Hitohira Togashi 240mm Kiritsuke Gyuto features a natural kurouchi finish, which is formed after forging and heat treatment and not applied afterward. This results in a blade with a rich patina and a unique character. Please note that due to the natural variability of these rustic style knives, there can be light scuffs or cosmetic irregularities in the kurouchi finish. However, these imperfections are part of the knife's charm and add to its distinctive appearance.

• Unmatched Quality: The top shelf forging and heat treatment ensure exceptional performance and longevity.
• Understanding Variability: Due to the handcrafted nature of these knives, we cannot accept returns for differences from the knife in the photo.
