Specifications

The Kei Kobayashi SG2 Damascus Gyuto 210mm is a precision-crafted Japanese chef’s knife, designed for versatility in handling meat, fish, and vegetables. Featuring an ultra-thin spine and tapered geometry, it excels in smooth, effortless cutting with minimal resistance. The SG2 powdered stainless steel core ensures superior edge retention, while the damascus cladding enhances durability and aesthetics. Paired with an octagonal rosewood handle, it offers precise control and a comfortable grip.

This gyuto is an excellent choice for those seeking a "laser" knife—a term used for Japanese knives with exceptionally thin cross-sectional geometry that maintain cutting efficiency even when not at peak sharpness.
