The **Munetoshi Nashiji Black Gyuto 21 cm** is a stylish, Japanese chef's knife. In Japanese Gyuto means 'beef swords'. Sounds sinister, but it merely means that originally this knife was made to prepare meat. Today the Gyuto knife is considered to be an all-round chef's knife for all cutting tasks in the kitchen.

### Blade made from Shirogami steel

The blades are made from Shirogami steel. Also known as White Paper Steel. Shiro means white in Japanese and gami means paper. This is a classic Japanese type of steel with a high carbon content. Characterizing for this type of steel is the hardness (61 HRC to 63 HRC) and that it is very thin. The blades are laminated. This means that the Shirogami steel is laminated in between two pieces of softer, iron. This improves flexibility and the corrosion resistance of the blade. Without compromising on the qualities of the Shirogami steel.

**Please note:** Shirogami steel is not stainless. So always clean and dry the knife thoroughly after use. As you cut vegetables and fruit a patina will emerge. This natural reaction protects the blade from further corrosion in the long run. [Here you can read more about maintaining and using a Japanese knife.](/en/ct/use-and-maintenance-of-japanese-kitchen-knives.htm)

The listed blade length is the length of the edge. The blade is enhanced with a 'distal taper'. This means that the blade is tapered towards the tip. This makes the knife a lot lighter and ensures that the weight is evenly divided and nicely balanced.

### Chestnut wood handle

The handle is made from light-weight dark-coloured chestnut wood. The handle is enhanced with a traditional Japanese D-shape. This shape ensures that the handle nicely fits in the palm of your hand. This version is made for right-handed use, but even left-handed users can easily use this knife. The bolster, in Japanese called 'Kakumaki', is made from black plastic and is in nice contrast with the whole.

## Munetoshi, by Mr. Kouichi Tsurumaki

Munetoshi knives are forged by hand in Japan by Mr. Kouichi Tsurumaki. A third generation knife smith, born in 1949. Originally he made sickles and axes. Real user objects with which he quickly made a name for himself. Some ten years ago he entered the world of kitchen knives. Where he, even today, provides a select group of enthusiasts, with stylish kitchen knives that are produced according to Japanese tradition.

For Mr. Kouichi Tsurumaki function is key. Perfect finishes? Not as important. He feels that the kitchen knife is a tool that should, first and foremost, function. As such each knife is different. The Brute Forge finish that emerges as you harden the steel is also unique for each knife. It gives these knives its rough charm you rarely see these days.

General information

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

value_steel_hardness
