Its long gyuto profile suits cooks who want room for slicing boneless proteins, cutting larger vegetables, and working through generous batches of prep. The 240mm size offers reach, but asks for more cutting-board space than a compact chef knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade combines a Blue #1 carbon steel core with soft iron Damascus cladding. A bright migaki finish reveals flowing layers beneath the textured upper blade. The pictured Prisma handle brings blue-green and pale golden figured wood tones together with a narrow red spacer, giving the polished steel a colorful counterpart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a knife for someone who enjoys the character of carbon steel and is willing to wipe and dry it as they work. Both the exposed core and iron cladding can develop a patina and will rust if left wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 240mm Masuda gyuto suitable for home cooks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if you are comfortable using a longer knife and have enough board space. The extra blade length is useful for long slicing strokes and larger ingredients. Use controlled cuts through vegetables, fish, and boneless meat; avoid bones, frozen foods, and twisting the blade in a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this knife come with the Prisma handle installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This listing is for a complete Masuda gyuto fitted with a custom Prisma wa handle. The photographs show the blue-green figured handle and red spacer. Natural grain and handmade finishing can vary between individual knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Blue #1 Damascus stainless?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Blue #1, also called Aogami #1, is carbon steel, and this knife's soft iron Damascus cladding is reactive too. Wipe the blade during use, wash it by hand, and dry it immediately. A developing patina is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Masuda Yoshihide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyuto \/ Japanese chef knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue #1 \/ Aogami #1 carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCladding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft iron Damascus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Migaki with textured upper blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240mm nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installed custom Prisma wa handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Appearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue-green and pale golden figured wood tones with a red spacer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sanjo, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-wash with mild soap and dry the blade and handle thoroughly.
