Forged in the Hanoi region by Kakushin’s long-time collaborator Nguyên, this 210 mm Gyuto combines precision and artistry in equal measure. Its 52100 carbon-steel core delivers exceptional bite and edge retention, while the nickel Damascus cladding shimmers with subtle contrast and depth — a dark, layered pattern kissed with a copper-like sheen. With its standard-height heel, the knife feels agile, balanced, and ready for anything from delicate slicing to everyday prep work.
Each piece is part of a limited run, with only a handful produced. Paired with a hand-selected, custom-fit handle from Kakushin’s workshop, it becomes a truly one-of-a-kind blade — crafted to perform and meant to be admired.
Kakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop. If you're new to the custom knife world and want to confirm the fit and sizing of a handle with a specific blade, feel free to reach out!
