Product Description
Moriya Munemitsu YHC belongs to the same group of companies as Yasugi Specialty Steels ('YSS'), producers of the fine Gingami#3 stainless steel from which this knife is produced, a stainless steel offering hardness and sharpness comparable to carbon steel.
The Moriya Munemitsu Gingami#3 santoku is a multi-purpose knife for the home kitchen. It provides traditional Japanese cutting feel in a true easy-care package, ideal as the go-to kitchen tool for portioning meat or fish and processing vegetables for family meals of any size. Large enough to deal with cabbage and other large-leaved vegetables and comfortable in small work spaces.
The formed handle is goban, a durable handle material of compressed wood fibre and resin that will retain its beauty and integrity for many years. Full-tang construction lends strength and balance and high standards of fit and finish complete the package.
