Ashi Gyuto with 245 mm edge length

Ashi produces extremely popular knives that are hard to come by. Demand simply exceeds supply—and it's easy to see why. The knife cuts exceptionally well and comes razor-sharp straight out of the box. We're therefore very proud to offer these knives, which combine understated design with impressive performance. The thin blade with a slight convex grind moves effortlessly through both hard and soft ingredients with minimal resistance. Despite its slim profile, the knife is durable enough for daily use.
