Kohetsu knives are well known for offering great cutting performance using the top steels on the market with impeccable heat treatment and nice, thin grinds, all at very affordable prices. This line of tsuchime (which translates roughly to “hammered” in Japanese) knives has been created for pro cooks and home chefs looking for robust, good looking performers that sharpen easily. They use VG-5 steel on the edge that is heat treated to 60 Rockwell.
The Kohetsu VG-5 Tsuchime Gyuto 180mm is a short blade for a gyuto but one that offers a great deal of utility and versatility. Its shorter length is perfect for small spaces and cutting boards, as well as being very adept at handling smaller ingredients and garnishes.
The traditional Western-style handle is made from black pakka wood with a well finished stainless steel bolster attached. This is a really nice knife especially for something in this price range.Weight: 5.8 ounces
Blade Length: 182 mm
Total Length: 305 mm
Spine Thickness at Base: 1.8 mm
Blade Height: 43.2 mm

A really amazing blade, and I have had lots over the years. I recently outfitted my business with Tojiro blades, and they are good utility knives, but got a couple of these Kohetsu to try out. Man, they are on another level, very thin and sharp. They can tackle most tasks, and the 180 mm is a perfect little prepping knife!!
