Yu Kurosaki Gekko VG-XEOS Nakiri with Solid Bubinga Handle

The reworked "New Gekko" series from Master Yu Kurosaki introduces the VG XEOS steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening compared to HAP 40. Ideal for both professional chefs and home cooks, this knife's cutting performance is exceptional, thanks to its beautifully ground blade and extreme thinness behind the edge.
