Kei Kobayashi SG2 damascus gyuto 210mm
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.
