At just 179 g and 338 mm overall, this western-handled Gyuto feels feather-light yet confidently tackles proteins, produce, and herbs alike. A sleek black pakkawood yo-handle with mosaic pin adds durability and moisture resistance—ideal for chefs and serious home cooks who want premium performance without maintenance headaches.

Common Questions

Q: Does SG2 hold an edge better than VG-10? A: Yes. SG2’s ultra-fine grain structure hardens to around 64 HRC, giving noticeably longer edge life and cleaner push-cuts than VG-10.

Q: Is the blade fully stainless? A: It is. Both the SG2 core and the outer cladding resist corrosion; simply hand-wash, dry, and avoid dishwashers.

Q: Is 210 mm a good length for smaller boards? A: Absolutely—210 mm (about 8¼″) is the Japanese “all-rounder” size, balancing reach with maneuverability for most kitchens.
