Specifications

The Yu Kurosaki HAP40 Gekko Kiritsuke Sujihiki 210mm is a premium Japanese slicing knife handcrafted by blacksmith Yu Kurosaki in Echizen, Japan. Featuring a HAP40 steel core, this knife delivers exceptional edge retention, making it ideal for prolonged use with minimal sharpening. This batch of Gekko series knives marks the last to feature HAP40 steel, as Kurosaki transitions to VG-XEOS for future releases.

Designed specifically for slicing boneless proteins, the sujihiki blade excels at precise cuts for meat and fish. Its narrow, long profile ensures minimal drag while cutting, resulting in cleaner slices. Paired with an octagonal oak wood handle, this knife provides balanced control and comfort for professional and home chefs alike.
