Masamoto KS Hongasumi Kiritsuke Gyuto 210mm
About the Maker - Before Knifewear, many chefs would make a pilgrimage to Japan to acquire a super special knife for their collection—a Masamoto was what they were after. Masamoto Sohonten is a legendary Tokyo-based knifemaker, prized for their incredible quality and absurd thinness.
The KS Hongasumi are a single piece of Shirogami with no cladding steel! These are the definition of precision, crazy thin and light. These are what most folks are after when searching for a Masamoto knife.
About the Shape - Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife and badass tip of a Kiritsuke (Traditionally a single bevel knife), double bevel Kiritsukes are a multi purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. If you want one knife to do it all, and look cooler than your buddy, this is your knife. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Kiritsuke which measures between 210mm and 240mm long.
