Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tadafusa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8122167492709,"sku":"GSTADA2SNAWE210GY","price":266.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/products\/hk-bs-gyuto-210.jpg?v=1568846319"},{"product_id":"tadafusa-nashiji-western-walnut-nakiri-150mm","title":"Tadafusa Nashiji Western Walnut Nakiri 150mm","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-8049ad70-7fff-969b-74e2-2ee3ba5b8df6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Tadafusa Nashiji - \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Tadafusa Nashiji Western sports an Aogami No.2 core and stainless nashiji finish on a curved wooden western handle, making for a great combination.

Under utilized in the Western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push\/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife kisses the cutting board at once, you wont be turning the vegetable into an accordion. Accordion vegetables are still connected like a paper doll after you're 'done' cutting them. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife. The ease of chopping will blow you away.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tadafusa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8122167787621,"sku":"GSTADA2SNAWE150NA","price":235.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/tadafusa-western-handle-nakiri-1.jpg?v=1714668004"},{"product_id":"tadafusa-nashiji-western-walnut-santoku-170mm","title":"Tadafusa Nashiji Western Walnut Santoku 170mm","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-8049ad70-7fff-969b-74e2-2ee3ba5b8df6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Tadafusa Nashiji - \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Tadafusa Nashiji Western sports an Aogami No.2 core and stainless nashiji finish on a curved wooden western handle, making for a great combination.
