Left-Handed “NAGOMI Professional” Gyuto Chef Knife by Mitsuboshi Cutlery

Price: ¥70,400
Price: ¥70,400

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.
