Kei Kobayashi is a relatively young knife-maker based in Seki City, Japan. He started out as a knife sharpener where he sharpened and finished knives for some top artisans in Seki City. Eventually, he decided to open his own workshop where he specialized on making 'laser' knives with SG2 core steel. Every knife he makes reflects his attention to detail and vast sharpening experience.


Laser knives, just like this gyuto, are ideal for anyone who prefers a lighter, thinner knife.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙧? It is a gyuto with a thin spine and thin cross-sectional geometry. A laser gracefully cuts through food with ease. It is said that even if it is not in its peak sharpness, a laser gyuto can perform better than other types of knives.
