Product description
I’m selling my brand new Sukenari HAP40 Gyuto 210 mm with a rosewood handle. This is a handmade Japanese knife crafted in Toyama by Sukenari, a highly respected workshop known for combining traditional techniques with high-performance steels. It is brand new, has never been used, has no imperfections, and is in perfect condition. Forged from HAP40 steel and heat-treated to over 66 HRC, this knife holds an edge exceptionally well. Its thin, finely tapered profile delivers laser-like performance, making it ideal for ultra-precise cuts and extended prep without frequent sharpening.
Price: 350 USD

⚙️ About the Steel
HAP40 is a semi‑stainless high-speed tool steel with about 1.3–1.37% carbon and alloyed with chromium, molybdenum, cobalt, vanadium, tungsten, and nitrogen. Its fine microstructure delivers:
- Outstanding toughness and resistance to chipping
- Exceptional edge retention surpassing many high-carbon steels
- Slight patina over time—semi-stainless, not fully stainless, so hand-wash and dry after use
