Wa Handle Gyuto knives pair traditional Japanese octagonal or D-shaped handles with finely crafted blades for exceptional control. The lightweight wa handle shifts balance slightly forward, making pinch grips feel natural, reducing fatigue, and giving precise tip control during long prep sessions or detailed cutting work.
This collection brings together White #1, SKD11, Silver Steel #3, SLD, Blue Steel, ZA-18 Damascus, and VG-10 Gyuto in popular lengths from 180mm to 240mm, with magnolia, ebony, walnut, and buffalo horn fittings. For help choosing the ideal wa-handle Gyuto for your technique, you can refer to Kasumi Japan’s detailed knife guides and recommendations.
