The Tsunehisa SK steel
gyuto exhibits a commendable thinness—not quite laser-like, but gracefully tapers distally towards the tip. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident, especially given its affordable price. The knife also features a stainless full tang for enhanced stability, seamlessly merging with the integrated bolster. Adorning the tang is an attractive brown oak handle, securely fastened with three stainless pins. An unexpected touch is the beautifully engraved kanji characters—a delightful addition to this reasonably priced knife.
For those venturing into the realm of Japanese kitchenware, this striking gyuto deserves serious consideration as an initial acquisition.
