Crafted in Seki, Japan by Kei Kobayashi, this 210mm gyuto features a stainless SG2 core with a damascus finish. The blade face is etched, while the blade road is polished, creating a clean contrast in finish. It’s a great choice for those seeking a “laser”: a gyuto with exceptionally thin cross-sectional geometry. The light and nimble blade is paired with an octagonal rosewood handle.
