Sakai Kikumori MV gyuto 210mm

Specifications

The Sakai Kikumori MV gyuto is a Japanese chef's knife made in Sakai by Kawamura Hamono. The 210mm stainless steel blade is made from AUS8 by Aichi Steel Corporation, offering rust resistance and easy maintenance. This knife is built to be a reliable workhorse in professional kitchens and home use alike. AUS8 sharpens easily and has very good toughness, making it less prone to chipping than harder Japanese steels. At 125g with an octagonal walnut handle, it's comfortable for extended use. The 210mm length works well for most kitchen tasks including slicing proteins, chopping vegetables, and general prep work.
