Brand Introduction:
🔪Echizen Uchihamono | Makoto Kurosaki
A young blacksmith from Fukui Prefecture, Japan, Makoto Kurosaki is affiliated with the Echizen Uchihamono school. He became independent in April 2018, founding his own brand "STYLE-K," and obtained the "Traditional Craftsman" certification in 2020, specializing in sharpening technology.
Apprenticed under the master Hiroshi Kato, his works are renowned for their minimalist design, sharp practical edges, and high cost-performance ratio, gaining popularity in both Japan and overseas markets.
This Gyuto adopts the design language common in Western chef knives—a slender tip and a natural curve. It handles both meat and fish with ease, making it a highly versatile, practical knife suitable for both Japanese and Western cuisine.
Material Introduction:
⭕️VG7
VG7 is a high-performance stainless steel developed by Takefu Special Steel, containing approximately 1.0% carbon and up to 1.25% tungsten.
The fine and uniform distribution of tungsten carbides grants the steel extreme hardness, excellent wear resistance, and stable toughness, making it an outstanding choice that balances "sharpness" and "practicality."
Knife Model Introduction:
⭕️Wa-Gyuto
The Wa-Gyuto is a professional chef's knife originating from Japan. It is primarily used for cutting, slicing, and trimming beef, especially premium Wagyu. Its blade is typically long, allowing for clean, continuous slices, making it perfect for processing large cuts of meat. The blade design aids in precise cutting, preserving the meat's integrity and aesthetics. Beyond professional chefs, it is increasingly popular in home kitchens, particularly among cooking enthusiasts who require delicate meat preparation. Wa-Gyuto handles and blade materials vary; common options include stainless steel and high-carbon steel, while handles are often made of wood or composite materials to ensure a comfortable and stable grip.
