Ohishi VG5 Migaki – Gyuto 240mm

$104.00 $149.00

When you are looking at Japanese hand-made Stainless-steel kitchen knives you should look no further than the Ohishi VG5 range of knives. With their VG5 stainless steel core and the softer Stainless-steel cladding, you have a knife that will hold its extremely sharp edge and is easy to maintain.

The 240 mm Gyuto (Chef) kitchen knife is the second-longest gyuto in the range. I personally don't use the 240mm gyuto very often but when I do it is great for the heavier prep work

I would recommend this knife to anyone who wants to start using a quality Japanese kitchen knife but doesn't want the stress of maintaining one of the Blue or White steel knives.

OHISHI VG5 Series

The blade is formed from VG5 stainless steel, hardened to 59-61 HRC, clad with softer SUS410 stainless steel. This technique, known as san mai, produces a knife with a keen, durable, long-lasting edge. The fine grain makes Ohishi VG5 one of the easiest-to-sharpen stainless knives we have found in its price range. This knife has a superior, keen edge and is sharpened to 12.5 degrees on each side. These lightweight, perfectly balanced knives with a forged closed bolster that seals the blade from the handle, are sure to be a favorite in your kitchen.
