Tsunehisa VG1 Migaki Gyuto 270mm

The Tsunehisa VG1 Migaki Gyuto 270mm is a long Japanese chef knife for slicing proteins, preparing large vegetables, and higher-volume board work. Its 270mm edge provides reach for long draw cuts while the 53.69mm heel height offers comfortable knuckle clearance.

VG1 Stainless Steel

The blade uses VG1 stainless steel from Takefu Special Steel, hardened to 59-61 HRC. This combination provides corrosion resistance, reliable edge retention, and straightforward sharpening for professional and home kitchens.

Migaki Finish and Wa Handle

The polished Migaki finish gives the blade a clean appearance. A traditional rosewood Wa handle with maple ferrule keeps the knife relatively light and forward-balanced for extended preparation.
