We present here a collection of OKA Multi Layers knives that are hand forged by Katsushige Anryu who is rightfully proud of being one of the founders of Takefu Knife Village. His family started making knives in the early 1870’s. Katsushige is now the fourth generation to continue this legacy. He started apprenticing under his father, Katsutoshi Anryu, after graduating high school in 1959 and now with well over 50 years of experience, he continues to forge incredible blades. Anryu san is always striving to make better knives that in turn make the cooking process that much more enjoyable.
As many of our more modern clients prefer a stainless knife, we requested that these knives were crafted with a VG10 core (HRC is 60-62) Handle is made of Rosewood with the sliver ring collar.
GYUTO (Gyu – cow & To – sword):
This is the Japanese interpretation of a Western Chef’s knife. It is flat from the handle end for about 1/3rd of the edge and then curves to the tip. It is ideal for the Western style of roll cutting.
Function – Multipurpose chef knife. For Slicing, Dicing, Mincing, Filleting and Chopping of meat, fish and vegetables.
Normal length – 180mm to 300mm.
Tip: With the edge flat for about 1/3rd of the blade – 210 mm or longer the knife-edge profile is the same as a 180mm Santoku from the handle to tip and the same as a 180mm Gyuto from the tip to handle – so essentially a 180mm Gyuto & 180mm Santoku in one knife. The 210mm is the most favoured size for most chefs.
