Takeshi Saji's R2 Diamond Damascus Gyuto 240mm is a handcrafted Japanese kitchen knife, forged by master blacksmith Takeshi Saji in Echizen, Japan. The core steel is R2, clad in Damascus with a striking "diamond" finish.
The blade features a deep-etched Damascus pattern that is both visually striking and tactile. Following etching, it is polished to a semi-mirror finish, creating a beautiful contrast between the textured Damascus layers and the smooth, reflective surfaces—resulting in a visually dynamic and luxurious appearance.

Measurements: Slight variations are normal due to the handcrafted nature of the knife.
