Matsubara Wavy Face Blue #2 Gyuto 210mm is made by blacksmith Katsuto Tanaka who works from his famed shop in Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Aogami 2 carbon steel is undoubtedly one of the most popular steels used to manufacture kitchen knives. It is noted for its outstanding edge life and overall toughness. The core steel is covered in stainless steel cladding with a very nice hammered finish which Mr. Tanaka names "Wavy Face".
This great-looking gyuto has generous height, especially for a gyuto of this length. This is a robust blade in size and weight, which will favor users looking for a knife that feels solid and stiff in hand and on the board. This is a tall knife and none of our sayas fit.

I am in love with this line of knives, I got the petty several months ago and it instantly became my favorite knife. When I saw this come in stock I had to have it, and I regret nothing. It has become my go to large chef's knife, the extra height is very noticeable and I'm shocked at how light it is even though it's such a big knife.

Pictures do not do this knife justice, it’s a stunner. Fit and finish is impeccable. The handle is nicely sealed against the tang. It’s a tall knife and the balance is perfectly centered for a pinch grip.
I paid for the finish sharpening service and Mark sharpened it razor sharp. The first thing I cut with the knife was some sweet potato. The knife glided through it with absolute ease.
I think this will make an excellent addition to anyone’s knife collection.
