The Sukenari SG2 240mm kiritsuke gyuto is a versatile kitchen knife suited for slicing, chopping, and general prep work. It uses an SG2 stainless steel core hardened to 63 HRC. The blade has a migaki finish that gives it a simple and clean appearance. The thin convex grind helps food move smoothly away from the blade during use. The profile is thin but not fragile, which makes the knife suitable for both home cooks and professionals. It is fitted with an octagonal magnolia handle and comes with a magnolia saya for storage.
Sukenari was founded in 1933 in Toyama, Japan. The workshop combines traditional forging methods with modern steel and is known for working with materials such as SG2, ZDP-189, and HAP-40. The third generation of the Hanaki family leads the forge today. Their approach is shaped by steady, methodical craftsmanship and ongoing collaboration with professional chefs.
