The Gihei Nashiji Gyuto is a beautifully crafted Japanese chef knife that blends traditional forging with exceptional cutting performance. Made with Aogami #2 (Blue #2) carbon steel at its core, it offers excellent sharpness, edge retention, and a satisfying, smooth cutting feel.

The blade features a nashiji (“pear-skin”) finish, giving it a rustic, hand-forged look while helping reduce food stickiness. Gihei’s expert heat treatment brings out the best in Aogami #2—hard enough to hold a keen edge, yet tough enough for everyday kitchen use.
