Masaru VG-5 Hayabusa Gyuto 210mm

This collection of knives is crafted in Seki City, the renowned center for knife making. For centuries, Seki has been a significant trade hub and is recognized as one of the world's largest knife-producing cities. These knives feature san-mai construction, which means they consist of three layers fused together. The core is made from VG5 Takefu steel, a material frequently used in high-end food processor blades, known for its exceptional wear resistance and ease of sharpening. 

The Masaru VG-5 Hayabusa serves as an excellent entry-level gyuto, making it an accessible introduction to Japanese knives. It offers reliable performance, durability, and affordability compared to high-end alternatives.

Its thin blade and lightweight profile ensures precise and effortless cutting, while the sharp edge allows for clean and accurate cuts, significantly enhancing your cooking experience.
