Tetsujin Ginsan Ukiba Gyuto 240mm Ebony Handle

The Tetsujin Ginsan Ukiba Gyuto 240mm by Myojin Riki is a stainless clad chef's knife best fit for users seeking Ginsan steel performance with an ebony handle. This double bevel gyuto features a 233mm edge length and weighs 200g, presenting a blade geometry that glides through ingredients while maintaining a sturdy in-hand feel. The ukiba surface finish distinguishes this Tetsujin line, which results from a collaboration between Naohito Myojin and blacksmith Toru Tamura within a workshop where forging and finishing occur under one roof in Tosa.

Ginsan stainless steel offers the sharpness associated with carbon steel alongside corrosion resistance, supported by a fine grain structure that facilitates sharpening. The san-mai stainless clad construction pairs with an octagonal ebony handle featuring a subtle taper for a comfortable grip. Spine thickness measures 2.5mm at the heel, tapering to 0.9mm at the tip, creating a profile suited for general purpose tasks including mincing, slicing, and chopping. Naohito Myojin applies his grinding expertise to this model, continuing a family tradition established by his father Tateo after training in Sakai.
