A rare and very limited production of these handcrafted R2/SG2 Black Damascus gyuto's have been made by the renowned Japanese knife making master Takeshi Saji. Now in his 70s, he has over 30 years of experience in making handcrafted knives in Takefu, City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. With a beautiful wooden box included, this knife model is a real piece of art.
Gyutos are known as the only knife needed in the kitchen. The blades typically range from 210mm to 270mm in length and are appreciated for their taller heel. Gyuto’s are a great option for most as they have a reasonably flat profile toward the heel for chopping, a belly toward the tip of the blade for rock cutting, and a pointed tip for precision work. which is why many chefs prefer a Gyuto over many other models.
While often similar in shape when compared to Western chef knives, Japanese Gyuto’s have a reputation for being lighter and thinner.
