Forged by Master Yu Kurosaki in Takefu, this double-bevel gyuto features VG XEOS steel from Takefu Special Steel, hardened to 62-63 HRC. The steel combines high hardness with wear resistance through a special melting method that creates a fine microstructure. This 270mm profile suits general-purpose kitchen tasks including mincing, slicing vegetables, and cutting meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade features san-mai stainless clad construction with a uniform high-grit Migaki finish and measures 2.1mm at the spine above the heel, tapering to 0.9mm near the tip. It weighs 199g with a 59mm heel height. The octagonal WA handle is crafted from stabilised birch burl with a gold colour spacer, providing durability and distinct grain patterns. As a stainless-clad knife, it is easy to maintain and does not require the reactive steel care routine. Users should note the thin geometry can be brittle, making this knife suited for precise cutting technique rather than heavy impact use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kurosaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47434758684893,"sku":"KS-GEKKO-GY270-BW","price":510000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_1457.jpg?v=1771383645","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/kurosaki-gekko-vg-xeos-gyuto-270mm-birch-wood","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
