The Shirou Kunimitsu Special Kurouchi Vegetable Gyuto Knife is a handcrafted Japanese kitchen knife by Akimitsu Komiya and his family, blacksmiths in charge of the Shirou Kunimitsu workshop in Omuta city, Fukuoka prefecture. This double-edge gyuto knife is crafted in Shirogami No. 1 Steel following the same techniques as used to make Japanese katana swords, another of the workshop’s specialties. It features a kurouchi finish with magnolia wood handle.

About the Blade Shape: Often described as the Japanese version of the Western-style chef’s knife, double-edged gyuto knives are designed for a wide range of kitchen tasks with a slight emphasis on protein preparation. The balanced blade shape supports slicing, chopping, and push cuts with ease, making it ideal for both professional and home cooks. Typically measuring between 210mm and 240mm, the double-bevel gyuto offers adaptability, precision, and everyday reliability.
