The Hado Shiosai K-Gyuto 21 cm SG2 is a modern Japanese chef knife featuring a kiritsuke style tip. The K-Gyuto profile combines the versatility of a traditional Gyuto with increased precision at the tip section.
The blade is built around a SG2 R2 powdered stainless steel core, valued for high hardness and long edge retention. Heat treated to approximately 63 +/-1 HRC, it delivers stable cutting performance and durability. Stainless cladding enhances corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance.
A refined Tsuchime hammered finish improves food release while adding texture to the blade surface. The thin geometry and precise sharpening by Naohiro Nomura ensure smooth and controlled cutting. The 21 cm length supports efficient slicing of larger ingredients.
The octagonal oak handle provides balanced handling and secure grip. This knife represents the combination of powdered steel technology and traditional Japanese sharpening expertise.
