Masamoto KS Gyuto 210mm - Shirogami#2

(Comes with original wooden Saya sheath Masamoto)

The Quintessence of Japanese Craftsmanship

Masamoto Sohonten is a brand that needs no introduction to any connoisseur. The KS Gyuto 210mm model has achieved iconic status thanks to its unique geometry and exceptional ability to achieve extreme sharpness.

It is a knife that has become the standard for professionals seeking the ideal balance between precision and durability.

Made from pure Shirogami#2 carbon steel, it is characterized by a cutting aggression that stainless steels cannot match. Every stroke with this knife is pure satisfaction and absolute control over the product.

Why is Masamoto KS the choice of masters?

• Legendary Profile: The KS series is famous for its almost flat cutting edge profile at the heel, making it an unparalleled tool for push-slice techniques.
• Shirogami#2 Steel: High-carbon steel with a hardness of 62 HRC. Allows for "razor" sharpness in just a few moments on a whetstone.
• Minimalist Design: Stark elegance, traditional magnolia wood handle with a buffalo horn ferrule.
• Complete Set: The knife comes with an original wooden Saya sheath, which protects the delicate blade from damage and moisture.

Important Information for the User

The Masamoto KS Gyuto is a tool for the conscious user. Due to its high carbon content, the steel is not stainless.

• Care: After each use, the knife should be hand-washed and dried thoroughly. Over time, a natural patina will appear on the blade, which is a testament to the history of your work in the kitchen.
• Warning: The knife is only for precise cutting of meat, fish, and vegetables. Do not use it for chopping bones, frozen foods, or hard pits – this risks chipping the edge.

Expert Opinion by Yasashi Ōkami

"The Masamoto KS is a knife that teaches humility and respect for technique. Its lightness and profile make work instinctive. It's an investment for years, which with every sharpening on a whetstone gets better and better. In a set with the original Saya, it constitutes complete equipment for the most demanding."
