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.)

• Care Guide
- Use a whetstone to maintain sharpness. Avoid electric sharpeners and pull-through sharpeners, as they are not suitable for Japanese kitchen knives. Honing rods, typically used for western-style knives, may potentially damage the edge.
- Choose a wooden or rubber cutting board instead of bamboo or poly boards to preserve the knife's edge.
- Keep the knife clean and dry, especially if it is made of carbon steel. Carbon knives are prone to rusting.
- Avoid using the knife to cut through bones or frozen foods. It's best to use a separate knife specifically designed for these tasks.
- When cutting, use a smooth and fluid motion, avoid twisting or torquing the blade. This technique helps maintain control and minimizes the risk of damage.
- Never put Japanese kitchen knives in the dishwasher. Instead, hand wash them with mild soap, ensuring thorough cleaning, and then dry them completely before storing.
