ひとひら ふたな 銀三 梨地 牛刀 210mm 桜柄

This is my first "expensive" knife and I must say, this is a work of art. Not only is the fit and finish amazing but how the knife looks and the feel when cutting anything is superb. They had mistakenly sent me 1 of the 2 knives I've ordered which I had to pay duties in Canada. I sent an email inquiring about it and I got an answer from them immediately and they sent the 2nd knife within 1 to 2 days after responsing and covered the cost of duties. It was well worth the money, and I plan on buying more knives from this shop in the future.

I've had my Hitohira Gyuto for over a year now, and it's easily my favourite piece of kitchen tech. I love the handle, the edge stays keen, and it's a joy to use in every way.

My first gyuto, I usually use santoku, but I love hauling this knife. Nice weight and cleans easily and the extra length is what I’ve been looking for

Pictures don't do this knife justice. It comes fairly polished, it's super light, well balanced, nimble, with an awesome cladding. The whole blade is stainless, but the S3 is essentially stainless shirogami, so basically you get the cutting performance of a full carbon steel. The handle is gorgeous, with an ebony ferrule. While this lacks a true distal taper, it's that much more robust, giving you peace of mind from not having to tip toe around certain products. Combine that with the stainless properties I've mentioned, and this knife is perfect for home users or busy cooks who want a low maintenance knife with serious performance that can handle almost all products. And it's UNDER $200!!!
