Ohishi Ginsan Nashiji Gyuto (Chef/Cook), 240mm

$253.40 $361.95

The Ginsan series 240mm Gyuto (Chef/Cook) Japanese Kitchen knife is an excellent example of the Blacksmiths' skill. As soon as you open the packaging you see a knife that is ready to go to work out of the box

I used this knife to prep a range of ingredients for my version of Laksa soup and was very happy with the results. The balance and weight of the knife made the work easy and the cooked Laksa was a great hit with family and friends.

If you are a professional Chef working in a busy kitchen or at home cooking meals for the family these knives are the perfect choice to give you the results you expect as they can meet the rigorous demand of a home or a commercial kitchen.

Ohishi Ginsan
The use of Ginsan Steel is an important innovation in the blacksmithing of knives, it combines the resistivity of stainless steel with the qualities of high-end steel. Ginsan steel is one of the best high carbon, corrosion-resistant steels used in knife making.
The core of these knives is Ginsan steel hardened to HRC61, and it is clad in softer low-carbon stainless steel. The resulting combination gives these blades an exceptionally tough, long-lasting, chip resisting edge that is comparatively easy to sharpen.
The Nashiji (pear skin or rough skin) mottled Finish is really stunning and gives the blade a nice rustic look. The blade has a forged closed bolster that seals the Pakka wood handle from the blade making it very resistant to dirt and water. The Pakka wood hand is fastened to the knife with a triple-riveted tang

Washing – Hand wash with soapy water, rinse the blade with Hot water. Dry your knives as soon as possible after washing and do not leave them wet for extended periods of time. Do not wash in a dishwasher!

Storage – Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store in cutlery draw with other knives. Use a knife rack or at a minimum a cover for the knife to protect the edge

Sharpening - It is recommended to sharpen these knives to a fine edge on a Japanese Whetstone. However, for touch-up sharpening, you can use a Ceramic Steel and a 2 or 3 Wheel Japanese Water sharpener as these are designed for the angle of bevel angle of Japanese knives.
