The Blacksmith
Mutsumi Hinoura-san is the son of legendary blacksmith Tsukasa Hinoura-san and is becoming a bit of a legend in his own right! Having been trained by such a highly skilled smith, Hinoura-sans knives are of incredible quality and performance. He works out of a shop in the Sanjo region and his knives adhere to the styling of many of the other smiths that work in this area. They are a bit thick at the spine where handle and tang come together but gradually get paper thin behind the edge. This blade geometry provides an incredible cutting feel and also provides what we feel is an incredibly comfortable feel in the hand and means the blades have a bit more weight to them than what might be considered "normal". The balance point on these blades is quite far forward which we find really comfortable as it makes the knife feel more like it's pulling itself through ingredients.
This series of knives is made from Shirogami #2 and have a stainless cladding. They can and will rust if not kept dry and clean but only the small portion of carbon steel exposed at the edge is susceptible and only if they are not wiped down after use. Shirogami #2 generally has to be sharpened with more regularity than other steels but its incredibly easy to sharpen and takes a super keen edge.
The Shape
The Gyuto is an all purpose knife and the Japanese equivalent to the western chef's knife; 210mm is the equivalent of the standard 8 inch variation of that knife. From slicing, dicing, chopping, and carving the Gyuto can do it all. It is without question, the most versatile knife shape available and a great choice for both home cooks and professionals.
