Care and everyday use
It is at its best for everyday all-round prep. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Feels fantastic in the hand and the Kurouchi looks even better in person.

The SLD semi-stainless steel takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.

Beautiful Kurouchi finish and the edge is incredible. Exactly what I hoped for.

Best gyuto I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.
