Product Overview

The Shimomura TU-9005 is a 240-millimeter gyuto for everyday meat, fish and vegetable preparation. Its stainless steel blade combines a broad heel with a pointed tip, meeting a dark wooden handle through a stainless steel bolster.

At 365 millimeters overall, the knife provides a longer working format than the 210-millimeter TU-9004 while retaining the same silver-and-black style. Three visible handle rivets and a gently shaped grip distinguish the Western-style handle from a cylindrical wooden one.

A general-purpose knife for meat, fish and vegetables

Use the TU-9005 as the general-purpose knife in a preparation setup that includes meat, fish and vegetables. Its gyuto format is the Japanese counterpart to a Western chef’s knife, making it the multipurpose choice rather than a dedicated long sashimi slicer.

240 mm Gyuto Blade

A broad heel and pointed tip for multipurpose kitchen preparation.

Riveted Wood Handle

Three visible rivets run along the dark handle.

Stainless Steel Bolster

A metal transition joins the blade and wooden handle.

Choose a wood grip with a seamless metal transition

The wooden handle meets the blade through a welded seamless stainless steel bolster. This gives buyers a wood-handled option alongside all-stainless designs: compare the grip material and the blade-to-handle construction, not just the blade length.

Place 240mm between the matching 210 and 270mm options

The TU-9004 has a 210mm blade, the TU-9005 adds 30mm to reach 240mm, and the TU-9006 extends another 30mm to 270mm. Choose this intermediate format while keeping the same gyuto style. Its 365mm overall measurement includes the handle and is separate from the cutting length.
