Razor-Sharp SG2 Steel
The blade features SG2 powdered stainless steel, a high-performance material renowned for its incredible sharpness, excellent wear resistance, and outstanding edge retention. This advanced steel allows for a razor-thin grind that glides effortlessly through ingredients, making the Koutetsu Gyuto a true laser in the kitchen. The blade's polished migaki finish enhances food release and adds a sleek, elegant touch to its appearance.
Innovative Design and Functionality
The name "Koutetsu," meaning "ironclad," is inspired by Japan’s first ironclad warship, known for its sharp and pointed bow. Similarly, the knife’s distinctive pointed tip offers exceptional precision, making it ideal for detailed tasks like scoring and slicing. Its ergonomic design ensures effortless control, while the rounded and polished spine adds comfort during prolonged use.
Masterful Craftsmanship
Shibata-san is renowned for his meticulous attention to detail. Every Koutetsu Gyuto is hammer forged using the traditional san-mai technique, ensuring a durable yet lightweight blade with a sharp, balanced edge. The blade's minimal friction finish reduces drag, enhancing cutting efficiency, while the handle, crafted for optimal balance, offers unparalleled comfort and control.
