Kazoku Taifuu Zen Gyuto 21 cm

A robust and elegant Japanese chef’s knife from the Taifuu Zen series, featuring a unique whirlwind-inspired Damascus pattern that makes every blade truly one of a kind. Crafted for chefs who want sharpness and durability in a busy kitchen, this 21 cm Gyuto balances precision cutting with everyday reliability.

The Kazoku Taifuu Zen blade is forged from VG10 steel and hardened to 61 HRC, providing excellent edge retention and cutting performance. Its matte-finished core contrasts strikingly with the polished Damascus layers, giving the knife a refined yet distinctive look. With a thicker spine and a solid feel, the Zen offers added toughness—ideal for those who value a knife that can handle frequent use without chipping.

The octagonal handle is made of water-resistant crafted oak, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip, even when hands are wet. This simple yet thoughtful design provides excellent balance and control for effortless cutting of vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish.
