He trained at Yoshikane alongside Masashi Yamamoto-san among others, but now he enjoys the luxuries afforded by working next to one of Japan’s biggest knife factories. He works very collaboratively with the rest of the TOJIRO brand to share knowledge and techniques, combining the best elements of traditional blacksmithing and modern metallurgy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tojiro-atelier-vg10-damascus-gyuto-210mm","title":"TOJIRO ATELIER CLASSIC VG10 Damascus Gyuto 210mm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Shape - \u003c\/strong\u003eInspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, Gyutos are a multi purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. “Gyuto” translates to “cow sword.” If you want one knife to do it all, This is it.

Underutilized in the Western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push\/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife kisses the cutting board at once, you won't be turning the vegetable into an accordion. Accordion vegetables are still connected like a paper doll after you're “done” cutting them. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife.
