Fully hand-forged in Japan — and no two are alike. This 240mm Gyuto from the Irodori Series is the kind of piece you don’t come across often… a true collector’s blade that blends performance with something genuinely unique.
At its core, it’s built with Aogami Blue #2 carbon steel — known for taking an extremely fine, aggressive edge and holding it. It sharpens easily, performs at a high level, and gives that clean, precise feel on the board that carbon steel lovers look for.
What sets this one apart is everything around that core. The blade is finished with a dark, etched Kurozome treatment layered over a hand-forged Rainbow Damascus. You’ll see tones of grey, black and bronze flowing through the blade — not just on the surface, but with real depth and variation that shifts depending on the light. Each piece ends up with its own character, its own pattern, its own presence.
The grind is exactly what you’d want on a 240mm Gyuto — solid at the spine with a smooth taper into a thin, precise edge. It has that reassuring feel in hand for larger prep, but stays agile and controlled through product. Whether you’re working proteins, vegetables, or larger volume prep, it carries power without sacrificing finesse.
Unlike some pieces in the series, this one keeps a clean spine without exposed Damascus, giving it a slightly more understated look while letting the face of the blade do all the talking.
Each knife in the Irodori line is completely unique — no repeats, no duplicates. Left without a handle, it’s ready to be paired to your exact vision, whether you want to match the tones or create contrast.
This isn’t just a 240mm Gyuto — it’s a fully hand-forged Japanese piece with real identity, built for someone who wants performance… but also something they won’t see anywhere else.
