Hatsukokoro SLD Kurouchi Blast Gyuto 240mm
In stock – Ready for dispatch (2)
With a flat grind and subtle distal taper with a particularly thin tip it's a great workhorse with a unique kurouchi finish and smooth cutting performance and is equally capable of intricate work as it is using on larger ingredients.
This is an impressive knife in every respect and the feeling of significant weight in hand suits those who prefer a heavier knife that's balanced just around the heel.

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
Protection & care for this knife
