Morihei Hisamoto White #1 Tsuchime Stainless Clad Gyuto 240mm - Pakkawood Handle

The Morihei Hisamoto White #1 Tsuchime Stainless Clad Gyuto 240mm - Pakkawood Handle is a refined, high-performance gyuto built for cooks who want exceptional sharpness, clean cutting feel, and everyday practicality in a 240mm format. Forged in Japan, the blade features a White #1 carbon steel core, prized for its ultra-fine grain structure, outstanding sharpness, and crisp, responsive edge feel. It is a steel favoured by experienced sharpeners and chefs who value precision and feedback at the cutting edge. The stainless clad construction adds a layer of practicality, reducing overall reactivity while preserving the core steel’s cutting performance. This makes the knife easier to maintain in a busy kitchen without compromising its traditional carbon steel character. A hand-applied tsuchime (hammered) finish reduces food sticking during prep and gives the blade a subtle, functional texture that reflects its handcrafted nature. At 240mm, this gyuto offers excellent efficiency for high-volume prep, long slicing motions, and controlled push cuts. Despite its size, it remains thin behind the edge and highly responsive, delivering a smooth, effortless cutting experience across vegetables, proteins, and herbs. Finished with a durable Pakkawood handle, the knife provides a stable, comfortable grip and balanced feel, making it well suited to both professional kitchens and serious home cooks. A versatile and precise gyuto that blends traditional Japanese carbon steel performance with modern usability and low-maintenance stainless cladding.
