Shigeki Tanaka 240mm Gyuto Knife
The 240mm Gyuto shape is exceptionally versatile, ideal for higher rocking motions and longer slices. Owning a blade from a top blacksmith like Shigeki Tanaka means experiencing the epitome of craftsmanship where the choice of steel or grind becomes secondary to the sheer quality of the knife. His signature VG10 heat treat maximizes the potential of the steel, balancing toughness, ease of care, and exceptional sharpness. The edge is outstanding right out of the box, and it's a rarity that I feel the need to refine it on stones, even when brand new.
This knife also features genuine forged Damascus steel, making it a high-quality choice from an excellent blacksmith. This is a one-time series, and once they're gone, they're gone!
