Specifications

The Yu Kurosaki SG2 Senko Kiritsuke Gyuto 210mm is a premium Japanese kitchen knife crafted by esteemed blacksmith Yu Kurosaki in Echizen, Japan. Its distinctive star-shaped tsuchime (hammered) finish not only enhances visual appeal but also minimizes friction, allowing for smoother and more efficient cuts.

Forged with SG2 core steel, this knife delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for professional kitchen environments. The octagonal rosewood handle offers a comfortable and secure grip, complementing the knife’s refined aesthetics.

Although categorized as a kiritsuke gyuto, this knife deviates from the traditional flat profile of a k-tip gyuto, maintaining a more typical gyuto profile for enhanced versatility across various cutting tasks.

FAQ

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.
