Specifications

Hand-forged in Echizen, Japan by Yoshimi Kato, this 210mm gyuto has an SG2 core with a tsuchime or hammered finish. It is part of Kato-san's Hyo series. SG2 is a powder metallurgy (PM) steel with excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, and it sharpens easily despite being a PM steel. The knife feels light in the hand for its size. This is a solid choice for anyone looking to get into high-alloy steel through a Japanese chef's knife.

  • SG2 stainless steel (~63 HRC)
