The demand for his kitchen knives is very high and they are incredibly hard to get hold of. Luckily, during our last trip to Japan, we got to meet Mutsumi-san and his father. From this trip we were able to start building a relationship and we're pleased to say we now have some of his knives in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHAPE: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/gyuto\" style=\"color: black;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGyuto\u003c\/a\u003e.

It is a reactive carbon steel which is easy to sharpen and holds an edge well. This steel is often chosen for traditional-style Japanese knives. It is worth noting that this knife has been clad in stainless steel meaning only the exposed core edge will discolour making maintenance a lot easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFINISH: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/kurouchi\" style=\"color: black;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKurouchi\u003c\/a\u003e. This is a traditional, rustic finish achieved by leaving the furnace scale from the forging process on the blade rather than polishing it off. It has the advantage of reducing the reactivity of the surface of the knife and gives the blade a stylish, matt black finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/nashiji\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: black;\"\u003eNashiji\u003c\/a\u003e or pear skin finish.
