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.

Bought this as more of a collectors item than anything else but i absolutely will end up using it. The size and profile are perfect for my needs and the spine and choil are beautifully polished. Grind is nicely tapered, thin at the edge but sturdy at the spine. This was a grail knife for me and i dont regret spending the money for it.
