An In Depth Look

Blade Type
Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Signature
Swedish Special Steel, iron clad
Shigefusa is perhaps the most famous, revered, and sought-after knife brand in Sanjo. Their knives are made primarily by hand to ensure the highest level of finish and quality is achieved. This results in a very low output each year, with waiting times for these pieces stretching years, especially the Kitaeji.
