Trade in gyuto in good condition without original packaging. This powdered steel knife has been well owned with a few rounds of sharpening and some surface scratches in the face of the blade. The original stamp has been worn off most likely due to some heavier wiping. Despite it's use, there is still plenty of exposed core steel showing.

Original Listing:

Tojiro's R2 knives sport R-2 powder steel (also known as SG2) at the core hardened to 64 HRC; making for a long-lived cutting edge. The handles are made of black stamina wood; which is an extremely stable material fabricated with resin-impregnated wood veneers that have been compressed under high heat.

Tojiro was founded in 1953 in Niigata and have been making affordable, high-quality knives ever since. They are one of the largest knife makers in Japan. They utilize a variety of steels in their knives, stainless and carbon, and both traditional Japanese knives and Western style double bevel knives are available.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Habitual dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

Twisting, scraping and heavy use as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. Using a quality wooden cutting board will keep a sharper edge for longer. Materials like glass, ceramic and bamboo should be avoided and will make the edge go dull quickly.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred
