Each knife is a testament to their combined 25 years of experience, ensuring superior quality and performance.

Master Craftsmanship and Materials

The Makoto Tadokoro Marushin Nakagawa 240mm Gyuto is hand ground in Tosa, Japan, by Makoto Tadokoro, who honed his skills under the tutelage of the esteemed Morihiro. Satoshi Nakagawa, in Sakai, forges the knife with exceptional heat control and thorough heat treatment, resulting in knives with outstanding edge formation and edge life. The Ginsanko and VG10 stainless steel used by Nakagawa-san are renowned for their durability and sharpness.

Superior Performance and Care

This Gyuto knife boasts a fine grinding, providing a solid feel with minimal flex and a thin, sharp edge. It cuts smoothly and is perfect for those already accustomed to thin-edged Japanese knives. However, it is susceptible to damage if twisted or subjected to lateral pressure or scraping. To maintain its exceptional performance, ensure you hand wash and dry the knife, avoiding the dishwasher. Use hardwood-end grain or softwood long grain cutting boards for the best results.
