Hand-forged in Echizen, Japan by Yoshimi Kato, this 210mm kiritsuke gyuto has an SG2 core with a tsuchime or hammered finish. It is part of Kato-san's Hyo series. The reverse tanto tip is useful for fine tip work. 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. The kiritsuke shape gives it a different look and feel from a standard gyuto, while still handling the same day-to-day cutting tasks.
Overall Length: 358mm Blade Length - heel to tip: 213mm (8.4") Blade Height at Heel: 47mm Spine Thickness: At the handle: 1.9mm At the heel: 1.8mm Midway: 1.8mm 1cm from the tip: 0.4mm Weight: 163g Balance Point: at the pinch grip Handle: octagonal mono ebony Hand Orientation: ambidextrous Saya/Sheath: none
Notes:
Each knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike. The photo shows a randomly selected piece from our stock. If you'd like to see the exact knife you'll receive, email us at info@zahocho.com.
Minor variations in finish, surface marks, and measurements are normal in handcrafted Japanese knives.
Handle is fitted by the maker and shipped as-is. We don't offer handle swaps.

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.
