Masamoto HC Gyuto Chef's Knife

This gyuto uses Masamoto's extra-purity Virgin Carbon Steel to deliver razor-sharp performance and long-lasting edge retention designed for professional use. The blade requires additional care to prevent rust, but carbon steel knives are favored by serious cooks for their exceptional sharpness and ease of re-sharpening. The full tang construction with stainless steel bolster and pakkawood handle provides durability and a comfortable, secure grip. At HRC 61-62, the blade holds a very sharp edge and responds well to maintenance.
