Description

The Tadafusa Blue Steel Gyuto 210mm is a high-performance Japanese chef’s knife, forged with an Aogami Blue #2 carbon steel core for exceptional edge retention and sharpness. The stainless steel cladding provides added rust resistance, making it easier to maintain compared to a fully carbon steel knife.

Its African Bubinga wood handle is heat-treated and resin-sealed for durability against moisture and temperature changes, while offering a warm, comfortable grip. This combination of premium materials and traditional craftsmanship creates a knife that feels solid, stable, and perfectly balanced, ideal for precision work in both home and professional kitchens.
