Sakai Kikumori Gokujyo Gyuto 24 cm

The Sakai Kikumori Gokujyo Gyuto Professional Chef's Knife has a blade length of 240 mm and is characterized by its versatility. It can be used for all kitchen tasks – it is an essential tool in the hands of every professional and cooking enthusiast.

The Sakai Kikumori Gokujyo professional kitchen knife collection is known for the fact that each knife is forged and finished by hand by skilled craftsmen representing Sakai Kikumori. The production technique used, called Warikomi, involves the use of soft iron cladding (Jigane), surrounding a hard core of Yasuki White 2 carbon steel (Hagane). The hardening makes the knife blade very hard (reaching 62-63 HRC). Thanks to the hardening and heat treatment of the selected steel, all knives in the Sakai Kikumori Gokujyo series are easy to sharpen and maintain their sharpness for a long time. They have an octagonal handle made of magnolia wood, which is finished with an aesthetic buffalo horn ferrule.

Captivating with their beauty and elegance, these practical kitchen knives reveal the signs of the finest craftsmanship and the highest quality of workmanship. They can be used both in professional kitchens and in the homes of those who love food and Japanese blacksmithing. Each time after using a Sakai Kikumori Gokujyo knife, it must be cared for – washed and dried, as the steel used in its production is not stainless.

Knives from this brand are characterized by excellent quality and features that result from 600 years of forging tradition in Sakai, which has inspired the manufacturer since its founding in 1926.
