Yu Kurosaki SG2 Senko kiritsuke gyuto 210mm with custom saya

The Yu Kurosaki SG2 Senko Kiritsuke Gyuto 210mm is a premium Japanese knife crafted by the esteemed blacksmith Yu Kurosaki in Echizen, Japan. Its unique star-shaped tsuchime finish on the blade not only adds to its visual appeal but also reduces friction between the blade and food, allowing for smoother and more efficient cuts.

Made with SG2 core steel, renowned for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, this knife is perfect for use in busy professional kitchens. The octagonal rosewood handle offers a comfortable and secure grip, enhancing the knife's overall aesthetic appeal.

It's important to note that although categorized as a kiritsuke gyuto, this knife deviates from the traditional flat profile of a ktip gyuto, retaining a more typical gyuto profile that makes it versatile for a wide range of cutting tasks.

(Updated 06/17: We've updated the product page. The remaining stock of this Kurosaki gyuto now comes with a custom magnolia saya with an ebony pin.)
