Kikuichi 8.25 in. Kokaji Gyuto Kiritsuke

The Kokaji Kiritsuke Gyuto forged by famed Kokajikai blacksmiths in Sakai is made of White #2 Steel prized for its edge retention and ability to take a new edge. A San-Mai style clad sandwiches a thick core of white between soft (sk) carbon steel. This is an excellent knife for the Sushi industry as the high carbon steel can take a superior edge needed to cut through fish. This is a high carbon knife with a wood handle so be sure to take care, we recommend applying oil (wood, mineral) to the handle and blade when storing between uses. Comes with a fitted wooden saya (sheath).
