Tadafusa "Ookami" Tsuchime Gyuto 240mm SLD

240mm, 200 grams, 50mm tall at the heel. A full size workhorse for a full size board. If you cook for many people, or you break down a lot of produce at once, the extra length saves you real time: fewer strokes for the same work.

Ookami is Tadafusa's hammered line. The tsuchime (hammered) face helps food fall off the blade instead of sticking, and the spine is left thick at the handle: real Sanjo workhorse geometry, a knife built to be used hard every day, not babied.

The core is laminated SLD, semi-stainless: long edge life and easy to live with, no worry about rust. D-shape ho wood handle.

All knives JNS carry are handmade, one by one. Size and thickness can vary a little, and small marks in the finish can happen. This is normal for a handmade knife.
