Masakage Shimo Gyuto (chef's knife), 240 mm
Masakage Shimo Gyuto 24cm,
This Japanese chef's knife has a core of Japanese Shirogami #2 "white paper" non-stainless carbon steel with a very nice damascus pattern. The double-sided sharpened blade has a damascus pattern with straight x-shaped corners that are made with a specially developed hammer. This gives the effect of ice flowers on a diamond, hence the name Shimo which means frost in Japanese. Completely hand-forged by the young master blacksmith Yu Kurosaki, this knife is one of a kind. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, which makes sharpening very easy. A chef's knife is the most used knife in the kitchen and is extremely suitable for cutting meat and vegetables.
