Moriguchi Kaze 210mm Gyuto

A thin and light version of a general, all-purpose gyuto.

Umi Series

The Moriguchi Umi series combines understated Japanese craftsmanship with practical performance. The thin 440C steel blades are clad in Damascus steel and finished with a distinctive Nashiji texture, giving each knife a subtle, layered character.

The thin 50/50 bevel are suitable for both left or right handers, while the toasted oak handle adds natural warmth and an appealing contrast to the patterned steel. Refined edge without being overly delicate, the Umi series brings together everyday practicality and traditional Japanese-inspired aesthetics.
