Made in Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, by the skilled hands of the independent blacksmith, Yosimitu Kajiya. With unwavering dedication, he personally oversees every step of the knife-making process.

Combined with a stunning custom-made handle assembled at Kakushin's knife shop, this knife is not only high-performing but also a unique piece of art.

Gyutos are known as the only knife needed in the kitchen. The blades typically range from 210mm to 270mm in length and are appreciated for their taller heel. Gyuto’s are a great option for most as they have a reasonably flat profile toward the heel for chopping, a belly toward the tip of the blade for rock cutting, and a pointed tip for precision work. which is why many chefs prefer a Gyuto over many other models.
