Masakage Koishi – 210mm Gyuto
R5,160.00
Masakage Koishi:
The blade is made from Aogami Super – really easy to sharpen, holds a super fine edge, cuts like silk and is very rugged for its hardness. The super hard steel is then cladded in a softer stainless steel to help lower the possibility of rusting.
The Koishi(Pebble) line is made by Yoshimi Kato who first apprenticed at Kanehiro Hamono and then apprenticed under the guidance of Hiroshi-San (his Father in Law) who has also taught great blacksmiths like Yu Kurosaki. Yoshimi Kato strives to continuously improve his skills day by day working from Takefu knife village.
Gyuto (Chefs Knife):
The Gyuto is a Japanese designed chef’s knife. Gyutos vary widely in design but generally range from 210mm to 270mm in length though smaller and larger examples can be found. Like the familiar western styled chef’s knife, Gyutos are commonly tall at the heel, have a reasonably flat profile toward the heel for chopping, a belly toward the tip of the blade for rock cutting, and a pointed tip for precision work.

About the Petty
“Petty” is the Japanese word for a paring or utility knife and comes from the French word “petite”. It’s perfect for hand peeling fruits and veggies, but also equally as handy for small work on a cutting board.
If you feel uncomfortable with large knives, start with this shape. You really can get a lot done with a 120mm or 150mm petty knife.
Petty knives can be as small as 75mm and as large as 180mm, so there’s something to fit any hand, big or small.

RYUTOKU Nakiri 160mm
RYUTOKU
RYUTOKU knives are manufactured by Fuji Cutlery Co., Ltd. The sister company of Tojiro applies advanced construction techniques and modern materials, combined with high quality Japanese quality control to produce great knives suitable for chefs, home cooks and professionals at a great price.
About the Nakiri
Under-utilized in the western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife touches the cutting board at once, you won’t be turning the vegetable into an ‘accordion’, pieces that are still connected by a thread after you’ve cut them.
The added weight of the blade allow it to fall through food more easily while you chop, so the knife does more of the work for you.
The Nakiri blade shape is a traditional Japanese knife shape, designed for the task of cutting vegetables – a knife that will be appreciated in the hands of a prep cook with mountains of veggies to prepare every day.
Recently, many Nakiris find their way into home kitchens – it’s a perfect knife for vegetarians and veggie lovers.

Scanlen – Gyuto
Scanlen Knives
Scanlen knives are produced locally with expert crafting techniques by Frederick Scanlen, a South African born knife artisan who, after schooling, travelled to various parts of the world to learn the art of knife making. Frederick uses all types of indigenous and exotic woods, often recycling previously used wood and utilises high quality steels for the construction of his blades.
The Gyuto is constructed San Mai (Three Layer Construction) using UHC, an ultra high carbon steel which, due to its high carbon content, can be heat treated to high hardness levels.
Frederick Scanlen heat treat the steel to its highest hardness levels because he strives to maintain a good balance between edge retention, sharpness and durability. The blade is cladded in softer stainless steel which provides the knife with corrosion resistant properties.
The handle is octagonal in shape, made from Kiaat and Walnut which is durable and incredibly comfortable in the hand.
