Seki Kanetsune | Kanetsune-saku| Chef's knife | 240mm | Stainless steel

[Functional beauty that blends Japanese and Western styles] This 240mm Gyuto knife is from Seki Kanetsune's "Kanetsune-saku" series and is made with DSR-1K6 steel and a red plywood handle.

• Uses: A professional-grade size suitable for dynamic cooking, such as cutting large blocks of meat or slicing cabbage and Chinese cabbage. By taking advantage of the 240mm blade length and performing a "pull cut," you can create beautiful cross-sections of ingredients without having to move the blade repeatedly.
• Steel: Made from DSR-1K6 stainless steel, a special steel with a reputation for its sharpness and ease of sharpening. Its durability is strong enough to withstand the rigors of professional use, while its rust-resistant construction makes it easy to maintain.
• Processing: The "Tsuchime" (hammered) processing applied to the entire wide blade creates a layer of air, reducing the sticking of large ingredients or fatty meat to the blade and helping to make knife handling smoother.
• Handle: Made of water-resistant red plywood. The Japanese-style round handle, like a Japanese sword, fits comfortably in the hand, preventing hand pain even during extended cooking sessions, and the vibrant red color creates a unique look in the kitchen.

This authentic chef's knife combines the comfort of a Japanese grip with the sharpness of a Western knife, making it ideal for those seeking both efficiency and beauty.
