Left-handed highlights

This NAGOMI Professional Gyuto is hand-finished specifically for left-handed use, with the edge adjusted so the blade moves naturally through ingredients when held in the left hand.

A note from HIDARI

This is the knife for someone who wants more reach than a Santoku. The 240 mm blade gives you long, smooth slicing strokes and plenty of room for larger ingredients, while NAGOMI Professional’s careful balance keeps it surprisingly controlled in the hand.

A Japanese gyuto built for left-handed cooks — and finished to perform like one.

A Knife Finished for Your Left Hand

Most double-bevel knives are marketed as ambidextrous, but many are subtly optimized for right-handed use. The NAGOMI Professional is different — each knife is carefully finished for left-handed users, so the blade moves naturally through ingredients with better control and less resistance.

The Gyuto: Japan's Chef Knife

The gyuto is the Japanese take on a Western chef's knife — longer, thinner, and exceptionally well-suited to slicing. With a blade length of 240mm (9.4 in.), it offers the reach and versatility needed for breaking down larger cuts of meat, fish, and vegetables.

Cutting Performance Built on a Trade Secret

The blade is made from a proprietary stainless steel developed exclusively by Mitsuboshi Cutlery. Designed to deliver a cutting feel close to carbon steel while remaining easy to maintain, the exact composition is — true to the craft — a closely guarded secret.

About Mitsuboshi Cutlery

Founded in 1873 in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture — Japan's historic center of blade making — Mitsuboshi Cutlery has spent over 150 years refining the art of the Japanese kitchen knife. The NAGOMI Professional series reflects that heritage: knives made for cooks who care about the details.

⚠️ Please note: Due to import restrictions, this product cannot be shipped to the UK, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or Sweden. Shipping to the US may also be subject to local state regulations.

The Gyuto is part of the NAGOMI Professional collection — four left-handed kitchen knives, hand-finished in Seki by Mitsuboshi Cutlery. The Santoku covers a similar role at a shorter length, if 240mm feels long for your kitchen.
