Kagemitsu Nawame Ginsan Gyuto 240 mm (chef's knife)
Kagemitsu Ginsan Gyuto 240 mm — Nawame Series
This Japanese chef’s knife features a Ginsan #3 stainless steel core, clad in softer stainless steel with a distinctive Damascus pattern. The series takes its name from nawame, a Japanese word referring to a knot in a rope or a rope pattern.
The thin, hand-sharpened blade has a double bevel and a smooth profile that makes sharpening straightforward. Its Suminagashi-style Damascus cladding protects the hard cutting core, while the traditional octagonal hinoki wood handle is finished with a buffalo horn ferrule.
