Kohetsu HAP40 Western Gyuto 210мм

If you have been dreaming of that elusive knife that can handle the rigors of a commercial kitchen while keeping a razor sharp edge longer than any knife you have ever used, then it’s time to wake up! You have just found your blade!

The Kohetsu HAP40 gyuto measures 210mm along the edge. With its medium height, this makes for a comfortable, light, and easy to wield knife capable of tackling almost every ingredient. The knife is on the thin side of the scale but certainly no laser. It has a nice progressive grind which Mr. Tsukahara grinds more on the right side than the left and he feathers and thins out the tip for nice cutting performance that will work well for left and right handed users. 

The Hitachi made HSS steel core is clad in full stainless steel for added protection and strength. The exposed semi stainless edge will eventually take on a nice patina. A mahogany Western style handle is attached with a stainless bolster and three rivets.

Please note, the knife sharpener intentionally thins the edges of these knives to make them perform better, especially on the tip area. Often times you will see a hazy/cloudy scratch pattern as a result. This is not a defect. He is doing you a favor by putting in extra work. Please look at the 4th photo on this page to see it.
