Kasumi Japan Gyuto Blue Steel – Ebony Wood Handle

The Gyuto Blue Steel #2 – Ebony Wood Handle (Kasumi Japan) is an essential Japanese chef’s knife designed for serious home cooks and culinary enthusiasts who value precision, control, and authentic craftsmanship. Built in the classic Gyuto profile, it’s the one knife you can reach for every day—handling everything from quick prep to demanding slicing and chopping with ease

At the heart of this knife is a Blue Steel #2 (Aogami #2) core, a premium high-carbon steel admired for its razor-sharp edge, clean cutting feel, and excellent edge retention. With a hardness of around ~62 HRC, it delivers a crisp, responsive performance that feels immediately different—less force, more precision, and a noticeably smoother glide through ingredients.

The knife is finished with a hand-shaped Black Ebony wood handle, chosen for both aesthetics and comfort. The dense Ebony wood provides a secure, ergonomic grip and a refined, timeless look. We have selected this handle for this model because we believe the handle should feel as confident as the blade - stable in hand, naturally balanced, and built for long prep sessions.

With its gently curved edge, the Gyuto offers a smooth cutting motion that’s ideal for rock-chopping herbs and aromatics. The fine tip supports precise trimming and slicing, while the versatile blade handles meats, vegetables, and everyday prep with ease.

Follow these simple guidelines to keep your knives sharp, beautiful, and performing their best:

🔪 Proper Usage:
Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board—avoid hard surfaces like glass, marble, or metal.

Choose appropriate knives for specific tasks (vegetable knives for veggies, chef knives for general cutting, etc.).

Avoid cutting frozen or overly hard items that can damage the blade.

🚿 Cleaning:
Hand wash immediately after each use with mild soap and warm water.

Avoid the dishwasher, as high temperatures and harsh detergents can harm your knife’s blade and handle.

💧 Drying & Storage:
Dry thoroughly with a clean towel immediately after washing to prevent rust and stains.

Store knives safely in a wooden block, magnetic knife holder, or protective sheath to maintain sharpness and safety.

🛠️ Sharpening & Maintenance:
Regularly hone your knives using a ceramic honing rod to maintain edge sharpness.

Professional sharpening is recommended 1–2 times per year, depending on usage.

Occasionally apply food-safe mineral oil on wooden handles to maintain their natural beauty and durability.

⚠️ Safety Precautions:
Always handle knives carefully and attentively.

Keep knives out of reach of children.

Follow these tips to preserve your knives’ quality, ensuring lasting sharpness, beauty, and optimal cooking performance! 🌟
