Japanese Gyuto Knife 240mm Minamoto hiroaki 源宏明 kitchen knife 最上

Crafted by the Master's Hand: The Minamoto Hiroaki "Mogami" 240mm Gyuto Knife

Experience the pinnacle of Japanese cutlery artistry with the Minamoto Hiroaki "Mogami" 240mm Gyuto Knife. This knife is the creation of the renowned blacksmith Minamoto Hiroaki (源宏明), a master craftsman whose work is celebrated for its perfection and exceptional performance.

Forged from "Mogami" steel, this Gyuto is a pure high-carbon steel blade, a choice demanded by professional chefs for its extraordinary sharpness and ability to achieve a razor-fine, long-lasting edge. This superior cutting performance allows for clean, effortless slices through ingredients, preserving their texture and flavor.

It is important to note that such peak performance comes with a responsibility: this steel is prone to rust if not cared for meticulously. To maintain its pristine condition, the blade must be wiped dry immediately after use and should never be left wet or exposed to acidic foods for prolonged periods.
