The Kohetsu Blue #2 line of knives features excellent heat treatments and very nice grinds. The special sized tall gyuto listed here is made from Blue #2 high carbon steel on the edge which was specifically developed for tools and knives. Blue #2 has a high wear resistance but since it's made from carbon steel it's easy to sharpen, even at high hardness rates, which in this case is HRC 62+-. The inner core is clad in stainless steel which will keep all but the polished edge from forming a patina while making daily maintenance a much more simple task. The profile you see here is very tall for a gyuto and the knife has a nice workhorse feel to it, even though the edge geometry is thin. This is a big performer capable of tackling pretty much any normal kitchen cutting task. If you like the feel of a big knife with lots of knuckle clearance then this knife is for you.
