Overview

The Tokushu Knife White #2 Stainless-Clad Tsuchime Gyuto 240mm pairs a responsive carbon-steel edge with the reach of a full-size Japanese chef knife. Its White #2, also called Shirogami #2, core is surrounded by stainless cladding, while the hammered tsuchime finish gives the blade its distinctive texture. A fitted rosewood wa handle with an ebony ferrule completes the knife.

Choose this 240mm gyuto for slicing boneless proteins, working through larger vegetables and preparing several portions at once. The pointed tip supports precise work, and the long edge gives you room for smooth slicing strokes. It suits cooks who want a carbon-steel edge and are comfortable wiping and drying it during use.

Common Questions

Is this gyuto fully stainless? No. The outer cladding is stainless, but the exposed White #2 cutting edge is carbon steel. That edge can develop a patina and will rust if left wet. Wipe it during prep and hand-wash and dry the knife immediately after use.

Is a 240mm gyuto suitable for a home kitchen? Yes, if you have enough cutting-board space and prefer a longer chef knife. Its reach helps with large produce and longer slices. A smaller knife can feel more manageable on a compact board.

Does the knife include the handle shown? Yes. This listing includes the fitted rosewood wa handle with an ebony ferrule shown in the product photos.

How should I care for the edge? Use a knife-friendly board, such as a Hasegawa cutting board, and avoid bones, frozen food and twisting the blade in a cut. Sharpen on suitable whetstones or use our knife sharpening service. For storage, apply a light coat of tsubaki knife oil to the clean, dry blade. Do not soak or put the knife in a dishwasher.
