Yu Kurosaki Kokusen Gyuto 240mm
In stock – Ready for dispatch (2)
This is a big knife - it's tall with plenty of height clearance and with its exceptionally thin edge and flat and wide bevel it glides through food with ease and is nimble in hand with a thin tip for intricate work.
The balance point just in front of the heel is very comfortable working with a pinch grip.

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
Due to the height of this knife, we recommend an extra large size blade guard.
