This knife is completely forged by hand by the master smith Kiyokane from Tosa and is unique in its kind. The blade is very thin and sharpened manually and has no thickening which makes grinding very easy. A Gyuto (literally "Cow Knife" is a universal knife for both meat fish and vegetables, it is less suitable for embossing vegetables ("chopping cut"), for this you can better use a santoku or even better a real vegetable knife as a nakiri. This blade is forged and sharpened by hand and may have some scratches or irregularities, the edge might need some polishing to create a real sharp edge. The handle is made from plastic and has some residual marks from the production process.
