Common Questions

Q: Is the Masamoto KS Wa Gyuto suitable for home cooks?

A: Absolutely. While favored by many professional chefs, home cooks can also enjoy its effortless cutting action, exceptional sharpness, and classic Japanese feel.

Q: How should I care for this carbon steel blade?

A: After each use, rinse and dry the blade thoroughly to prevent rust. If it is not in your hand, wipe it dry. Occasional oiling with camellia or mineral oil helps preserve the steel. Proper storage and regular honing keep it in peak condition.
