Shizu Hamono GEN Gyuto 210 mm — Santoku Montenegro

At Santoku Montenegro, we are happy to welcome Shizu Hamono back to our selection of Japanese knives, featuring the GEN series — a collection that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship, premium materials, and a distinctive modern aesthetic.

Shizu Hamono GEN — Japanese Craftsmanship and VG10 Steel

Originating from Seki, Japan, a city renowned for its centuries-old blade-making tradition, Shizu Hamono combines traditional knife-making techniques with modern production standards. The GEN series stands out with its premium VG10 stainless steel, distinctive dark blade finish, and carefully hand-finished cutting edge.

VG10 is a popular Japanese stainless steel known for its excellent sharpness, good edge retention, and corrosion resistance. With appropriate heat treatment, it offers a reliable balance of cutting performance and everyday practicality. The dark finish gives the GEN series a bold, elegant appearance, making these knives as visually distinctive as they are functional.

Gyuto 210 mm — The Versatile Japanese Chef’s Knife

The Gyuto is the Japanese interpretation of the classic Western chef’s knife and is designed to handle a wide range of kitchen tasks. With its 210 mm blade, it provides an excellent balance between cutting length, precision, and manoeuvrability.

Its gently curved cutting edge supports smooth rocking cuts, while the relatively long blade is ideal for slicing larger portions of meat, fish, and vegetables. The pointed tip allows detailed work, trimming, and precise cuts, making the Gyuto a dependable all-rounder for both professional chefs and passionate home cooks.

The 210 mm length is particularly useful when preparing larger quantities of ingredients, offering an efficient cutting motion and fewer strokes when slicing through larger items. Its versatile profile makes it suitable for chopping herbs, dicing vegetables, portioning boneless meat, and performing many other everyday kitchen tasks.
