The latest Hanmā series takes refinement one step further with its new premium Kon-Iro (deep blue) handle, a striking addition that combines elegance with durability.

Crafted in Japan from premium VG10 stainless steel, these blades deliver the ideal balance of performance, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. A full-tang construction adds stability and weight, while the ergonomic Western-style handle ensures comfort for hands of all sizes. Whether you’re upgrading your home kitchen or equipping a professional workspace, the Hanmā series is built to perform.

The Gyuto is often called the only knife you’ll ever need. Typically ranging from 210mm to 270mm, it features a versatile design:

• A flatter heel for efficient chopping

• A gently curved belly for smooth rock cuts

• A pointed tip for precise detail work

This versatility is why so many chefs rely on a Gyuto as their everyday go-to knife.

While similar in silhouette to Western chef’s knives, Japanese Gyutos are usually lighter, thinner, and sharper, making them more agile for fine tasks without sacrificing power. The Hanmā series embodies this philosophy—combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a modern, premium look that now includes the distinctive Kon-Iro Blue handle.
