Mazaki White 2 Kurouchi Gyuto 240mm

The Mazaki White #2 Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm is a powerful example of traditional Sanjo-style craftsmanship, known for prioritizing cutting performance above all else. Hand-forged with a Shirogami (White #2) carbon steel core, the blade takes an exceptionally sharp edge and is highly responsive on the stones, making it a favorite among enthusiasts who enjoy hands-on knife care.

This gyuto is a very typical Sanjo knife, featuring a thick, robust tang and spine at the heel, paired with extreme tapering from the choil to the tip. This dramatic distal taper allows the knife to transition from authoritative power at the heel to laser-like precision at the tip, delivering outstanding cutting performance across a wide range of tasks. The kurouchi finish adds a rustic, hand-forged aesthetic while offering mild protection against corrosion.

With its confident food release, strong geometry, and refined taper, this 210mm gyuto excels at slicing proteins, breaking down vegetables, and precise tip work, embodying the essence of Sanjo performance-focused design.
