Yu Kurosaki Shizuku Gyuto 24 cm R2

The Yu Kurosaki Shizuku Gyuto 24 cm R2 is a unique chef's knife that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern materials. Thanks to its long and slender 24 cm blade, it is perfect for precise cutting of meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits. Its versatility and excellent balance make it an indispensable tool, both in professional kitchens and in the hands of cooking enthusiasts.

The blade is made of high-quality SG2 (R2) powder steel, which has a hardness of 63±1 HRC. It is one of the most durable materials used in the production of Japanese knives, ensuring exceptional sharpness retention and corrosion resistance. The double bevel sharpening makes the knife suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users. The distinctive hammered Tsuchime finish not only gives the blade a unique look, but also reduces friction during cutting, reducing the adhesion of ingredients to the surface of the knife.

The use of SG2 steel allows for a very thin yet extremely durable blade. The structure of this steel is fine-grained, which means that the knife stays sharp longer compared to standard alloys. The delicate distal taper, i.e., the gradual narrowing of the blade towards the tip, contributes to even better balance and precise knife handling.

The handle is made of rosewood, which provides a natural, warm finish and excellent ergonomics. The octagonal shape guarantees a secure grip and stability during work, even with wet hands. Additional reinforcement with a Pakka wood ferrule increases the durability of the handle and its resistance to moisture.
