Specifications

The Sukenari SG2 240mm 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 clean and simple 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.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.

When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away. It could be months before that item comes back, if at all. We bring in new knives regularly, but they're not always the same ones. Our newsletter is the best way to stay updated on new arrivals.
