Thanks to its extremely fine grain structure, SG2 is capable of taking an exceptionally sharp edge while offering impressive edge retention. The result is a blade that delivers a crisp, precise cutting experience and maintains its performance through extended use, all while benefiting from the low-maintenance convenience of a fully stainless construction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 210mm Gyuto is widely considered the quintessential Japanese chef's knife. Long enough to tackle large volumes of prep with ease yet nimble enough for more precise work, it offers an outstanding balance of versatility and efficiency. The extended edge length makes quick work of vegetables, proteins, and larger ingredients, while the pointed tip provides excellent control for finer cuts and detail work. Whether you're preparing a simple weeknight meal or working through an ambitious prep session, the Gyuto remains one of the most adaptable knives available.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat immediately distinguishes this particular piece, however, is the handle. Rather than a traditional lightweight wa-handle, Nigara paired the blade with a beautifully finished Western-style Ironwood handle. The dense Ironwood introduces additional weight and substance, creating a more planted and reassuring feel in hand. For users accustomed to European chef knives, the balance will feel familiar and confidence-inspiring, while still retaining the precision, cutting efficiency, and refined geometry that define a premium Japanese blade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe combination works exceptionally well on a 210mm Gyuto. The added presence of the Ironwood handle complements the longer blade beautifully, giving the knife a stable, authoritative feel during larger prep tasks without sacrificing responsiveness or control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBringing together the cutting performance of premium SG2 powdered steel and the substantial feel of a finely crafted Western handle, this Gyuto offers a unique blend of Japanese precision and familiar comfort. Elegant, versatile, and built to perform at a remarkably high level, it is the kind of knife that quickly becomes the centerpiece of a kitchen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Made in Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51159406280937,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4368\/6711\/files\/210GyutoIronWood.png?v=1781117685","url":"https:\/\/kakushin.ca\/products\/nigara-hamono-sg2-western-iron-wood-gyuto-210mm","provider":"Kakushin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
