The Sakai Kikumori Gokujyo Gyuto 210 mm Universal Kitchen Knife is designed for professional use and, as a chef's knife, is suitable for all kitchen tasks. It is an essential piece of equipment for both professionals and amateur cooks.

The Sakai Kikumori Gokujyo line of excellent kitchen knives is renowned for being entirely hand-forged and finished by the best craftsmen working with Sakai Kikumori. The use of a special Warikomi lamination technique results in hard and durable knives that are useful for everyday work. The strong core, made of Yasuki White 2 carbon steel (Hagane), is surrounded by soft iron cladding (Jigane). The knife blades are subjected to hardening, resulting in a hardness of 62-63 HRC. The hardening method and heat treatment of the steel ensure exceptional ease of sharpening, which becomes a very pleasant activity. In addition, these knives retain their sharpness for a long time. Their octagonal handle is extremely comfortable and beautiful. It is made of magnolia wood and finished with a buffalo horn ferrule.

These elegant knives combine the craftsmanship of artisans with functionality and the highest level of workmanship. Sakai Kikumori Gokujyo kitchen knives are recommended for the most demanding people, who work professionally in the kitchen or are passionate about cooking and admire the art of Japanese blacksmithing. Proper and regular care of the knives will allow you to enjoy their excellent properties for a long time (after use, they need to be washed and dried, as they are not stainless).

The manufacturer of Sakai Kikumori Japanese kitchen knives for professional use is considered one of the best. Founded in 1926, the brand draws on Sakai's 600-year tradition of knife forging. Collaboration with the best specialists, i.e., blacksmiths and sharpeners, has resulted in a wide range of excellent kitchen knives, both in modern Western style and traditional Japanese style.
