The word Kohetsu translates to Be Happy, and this stunning knife should be quite able of bringing a smile to you face!
This knife is constructed of VG-10 steel, a very popular stainless steel in the cutlery industry. This steel offers good corrosion and wear resistance while still retaining the ability to produce a very sharp edge. This is a popular steel among some of the well known commercial companies. The cladding is not only beautiful, but stainless steel as well. This combination produces a very carefree knife. The engraving is etched. The hardness is 60/61 HRC. The edge is 50/50.
The handle on this series is of a western design. The scales are crafted from (black) pakka wood, and the fit and finish is good.Brand: Kohetsu

This is the second Kohetsu 240 mm gyuto I have purchased. The first was a wa gyuto. I wanted this one because I prefer a western handle. Kohetsu knives are sharp, easy to keep sharp, ergonomic and attractive. This knife is well balanced, a pleasure to use and a joy to just look at. Well worth the price.
