The stainless steel cladding helps reduce maintenance, while the signature Tsuchime (hammered) finish gives each knife its unique handmade appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its 180mm blade, this Gyuto is a versatile Japanese chef's knife designed to handle a wide variety of everyday kitchen tasks. Perfect for slicing meats, chopping vegetables, mincing herbs, and preparing fish, it offers the versatility of a traditional chef's knife in a slightly more compact and manageable size. Its gently curved cutting edge allows for both smooth rocking motions and precise push-cutting, while the pointed tip provides excellent control for more detailed work. At 180mm, it's an excellent choice for those who prefer a shorter chef's knife without sacrificing versatility or cutting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Western-handled models, this Gyuto features a traditional Japanese Wa-handle made from magnolia wood with a natural buffalo horn ferrule. Lightweight, comfortable, and well-balanced, the handle provides excellent control while keeping the overall knife feeling nimble and responsive. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSince buffalo horn is a natural material, each ferrule is unique and can vary considerably in colour, ranging from deep black and dark brown to lighter shades of blonde, cream, and white.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e These natural variations are part of the knife's individual character, making every piece a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFujiwara knives are a little different from what you might expect at this price point. Don't expect perfectly polished surfaces or flawless cosmetic finishes. These knives are traditionally handmade, with a focus on heat treatment, blade geometry, and cutting performance rather than fancy finishing. It's part of their charm, and exactly why so many knife enthusiasts appreciate them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Made in Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67828612366569,"sku":null,"price":480.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4368\/6711\/files\/TeruyasuFujiwaraMaboroshiShiro1WaGyuto180mm.png?v=1793649784","url":"https:\/\/kakushin.ca\/fr\/products\/teruyasu-fujiwara-maboroshi-shiro1-wa-gyuto-180mm","provider":"Kakushin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
