Hitohira TD Blue #2 Stainless Clad Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm Padauk Handle

The Hitohira TD series consists of sturdy handmade knives from Sanjo, Niigata. All the knives we carry in the TD series are hand forged which makes for a noticeable improvement in steel quality. Very good prices for hand-forged knives. They come in kurouchi, tsuchime, nashiji and sometimes migaki finished stainless cladding on either Blue #2 or SLD core steel. Like many Sanjo made knives, they have spines that are somewhat thicker towards the neck, making for a nice grip and a little more weight. Very well made and dependable knives.

When it comes to versatility, nothing really beats a Gyuto. It’s the Japanese take on the classic Western chef’s knife; long enough for most jobs, tall enough to keep your knuckles off the board, and with a slightly narrow tip that makes it great for precision work.
Whether you’re chopping onions, slicing up a roast, fine work or portioning some fish, the Gyuto just does it all. It’s a true all-rounder you’ll find yourself reaching for every day.
