Features
For those who prefer a carbon steel core, Nigara offers the fan-favorite Aogami Super carbon steel at the heart of this knife. It features a uni-lateral migaki finish and a distinctly unique tsuchime (hammered) pattern. If you appreciate grays, this knife presents you with three shades of them.
The 240mm Gyuto is a conundrum of endless fascination. Enthusiasts of the 240mm Gyuto passionately express their love for this specific length, which offers 30mm more than the standard 210mm Gyuto. It is perfect for those with larger hands, bigger kitchens, and more extensive tasks.
Already a versatile knife style, the 240mm Gyuto enhances your culinary experience with its added reach. And don't dare tell a 240mm Gyuto enthusiast that it's too large for slicing garlic—they'll happily prove you wrong!
