Kuromatsu Tanaka Uchihamono shirogami 2 gyuto 210 wide flat bevel

Kuromatsu is where we bring together the things we care most about: no-frills design, honest materials, and form following function. Everything under this name is made by craftsmen we trust.

These knives are forged from shirogami #2 by blacksmith Yoshikazu Tanaka. The steel has a highly refined grain structure, takes an exceptional edge, and is a pleasure to sharpen and maintain. They’re thinly forged and ground to a wide flat bevel. The flat bevel carries a slight convexity, which reduces the chance of low spots showing during future sharpenings.

The handles are classic octagonal magnolia with a buffalo horn bolster: warm to the touch, gentle in the hand, and naturally secure grip.
