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 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.
