Yu Kurosaki Gekko VG-XEOS kiritsuke gyuto 210mm

The Yu Kurosaki Gekko VG-XEOS kiritsuke gyuto 210mm is a handcrafted Japanese knife forged by renowned blacksmith Yu Kurosaki. This blade features a core of VG-XEOS steel. The knife's distinctive profile includes a curved spine, which sets it apart from traditional gyuto designs. At 210mm, the blade offers a balanced length, suitable for a wide range of kitchen tasks while remaining maneuverable.

Unlike typical kiritsuke gyutos that often feature a flatter profile, this Kurosaki ktip gyuto maintains the versatile shape of a traditional gyuto, with a gently curved cutting edge. The gyuto is a versatile all-purpose kitchen knife, excelling at slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables, as well as working with boneless meats and fish.
