To bring out the natural grain of the wood, the lacquer is applied three times, first with the undercoat, then with the middle coat and top coat, and finally with a polished finish so that the natural grain can show through. This technique fills in each grain with the undercoat, polishes it out, and finishes it by applying multiple coats of transparent lacquer, which is one of the most advanced traditional techniques used by lacquer artisans.

Produced by Fukui, one of the most respected knife manufacturers in Sakai, Osaka, since 1912, this Gyuto knife carries a legacy of over a century of master-level craftsmanship. The OUL brand represents excellence and dedication to creating knives that combine traditional techniques with modern functionality.

Please do not cut bone or frozen food. It may cause the knife to chip or other damage.
