The Yu Kurosaki Gekko VG-XEOS kiritsuke gyuto 240mm 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 240mm, the blade offers a generous length suitable for handling larger ingredients.
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.
