🔸Brand Introduction:
Makoto Kurosaki, a talented blacksmith from Echizen, Fukui Prefecture, Japan, is part of the renowned Echizen knife-making tradition. In April 2018, he established his own brand STYLE-K after training under master Hiroshi Kato. In 2020, he was certified as a Traditional Craftsman, specializing in blade grinding.
His knives are known for their clean, minimalist design, exceptional sharpness, and high value, making them popular both in Japan and overseas.
This Gyuto features a Western chef’s knife-inspired profile, with a long, pointed tip and smooth curvature—excellent for handling meat and fish, making it a versatile all-rounder for both Japanese and Western cuisines.
🔸Steel Introduction:
VG7 is a high-performance stainless steel developed by Takefu Special Steel. It contains approximately 1.0% carbon and 1.25% tungsten.
The fine, uniform distribution of tungsten carbide gives it excellent hardness, superior wear resistance, and stable toughness—making it an ideal steel for balancing sharpness with practicality.
🔸Knife Type Introduction:
The Wagyu Gyuto is a Japanese-style chef’s knife primarily used for slicing and trimming beef, especially premium cuts like Wagyu.
Its long blade allows for clean, continuous cuts, making it ideal for large meat processing.
Favored for its precision, it helps maintain the structure and presentation of meat. While originally a professional tool, it is increasingly popular in home kitchens for users who demand refined meat-handling capabilities.
Wagyu Gyuto knives come in a range of materials, with handles commonly made from wood or composites to offer both comfort and stability.
