Overview
The Masakage Shimo Gyuto 210 mm is forged by master smith Yu Kurosaki in Echizen and named “Shimo” (“frost”) for its striking X-pattern Damascus that evokes winter glass. A White #2 carbon-steel core delivers legendary sharpness and effortless resharpening, while the soft-iron Damascus cladding absorbs impact to protect the edge. At just 146 g with an octagonal magnolia handle and pakkawood ferrule, this gyuto feels feather-light yet balanced for long prep sessions, gliding through proteins and produce alike.
Common Questions
Q: Is this 210 mm gyuto versatile enough to be my only kitchen knife?
A: Absolutely. The 210 mm length (about 8¼″) mirrors a Western chef’s knife, giving you one-knife coverage for slicing meats, dicing veggies, and precision tip work.
Q: Will White #2 rust, and how do I care for it?
A: White #2 is reactive. Rinse, hand-wash, and dry immediately after use, then store in a dry place. A light coat of food-safe oil prevents patina when storing for long periods.
Q: How does it compare to my heavier German knife?
A: At roughly half the weight, the Shimo feels more agile and fatigues your wrist less, while its 62 HRC edge holds sharpness far longer under routine prep.
