This Blue #2 Damascus Gyuto showcases the qualities that make Wakui’s work so highly regarded: a comfortable, well-balanced feel in hand, a sturdy spine that inspires confidence, and a thin, precise grind that delivers effortless cutting performance. The Blue #2 carbon steel core takes a remarkably keen edge and offers excellent edge retention, making it a favourite among enthusiasts who appreciate traditional Japanese carbon steel. Finished with elegant stainless Damascus cladding, the blade develops character as the core steel patinas over time while remaining relatively easy to maintain. For anyone looking to experience a handcrafted carbon steel gyuto, this Wakui is an outstanding place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA chef's knife ('Gyuto' in Japanese) is the most versatile blade that can handle almost anything in the kitchen. Their shape and often generous edge length mean that whether it's cutting small tomatoes or portioning a large roast, you can do it with one blade. Most cooks have multiple chef's knives and it is not hard to justify getting one more when it has so much utility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand: Toshihiro Wakui 聡宏 \u003cbr\u003eBlacksmith: Toshihiro Wakui 涌井 聡宏 \u003cbr\u003eProducing Area: Sanjo-Niigata\/ Japan \u003cbr\u003eProfile: Gyuto \u003cbr\u003eSize: 240mm \u003cbr\u003eSteel Type: Carbon Steel \u003cbr\u003eSteel: Blue (Aogami) #2, Soft Iron Clad \u003cbr\u003eHandle: Ebony \u0026amp; Pakka Ferrule Octagonal \u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 406mm \u003cbr\u003eEdge Length: 246mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle to Tip Length: 263mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Height: 51.7mm \u003cbr\u003eThickness: 3.7mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle Length: 140mm \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 235g \u003cbr\u003eHand Orientation: Ambidextrous\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toshihiro Wakui","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42909988520030,"sku":"BIA-AE104-FA240","price":998.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/4111\/files\/comingsoon_17998257-75b8-41a7-ad72-7b4f6cdfb20a.png?v=1772301037","url":"https:\/\/toshoknifearts.com\/en-au\/products\/toshihiro-wakui-blue-2-damascus-gyuto-240mm-ebony-handle","provider":"Tosho Knife Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
