KATURA knives are built to last a lifetime.  KATURA captures the best qualities of that spirit in a knife that is authentically artisan in every detail.  It offers the cook a remarkably precise cutting tool with a contemporary, refined aesthetic. For cooks who prefer using a smaller chef knife, the KATURA Gyuto 24 cm is the right knife choice. KATURA AUS10 stainless steel blades are lighter and thinner than usual which makes them easier to handle and maneuver. Professional chefs will choose a shorter blade length in order to handle ingredients that require more skill as it improves precision. KATURA Gyuto chef knife handles everything from small to large foods. The blade depth at the heel allows for an ideal knuckle clearance and can be used to transfer cut food from the cutting board. If you want a knife to handle challenging tasks in the kitchen this is your knife. The quality of a knife depends not only on the type of steel but also the quality of the forging. A hand forged knife 100% made in Japan is superior to those made elsewhere. At Kiksusumi we work with only the best forgers and artisans.
