245mm Gensuke hisashii Gyuto | Chef Knife

This is gyuto from Gensuke Hisashi in Tokyo. The original western-handle blade has been re-ground to a sabatier profile with wa handle. Bevels are nearly symmetrical. The SK carbon steel has been tested at 61-62HRC, indicating a very good heat treatment for this alloy. In hand it feels medium weight with slight forward balance. The handle is walnut with marbled buffalo horn and sealed with resin. Probably the best all round shape for the chef.
