Description

The Shiro Kamo SG2 Gyuto 240mm is a large, Japanese all-purpose chef’s knife. Similar to a Western chef’s knife, a gyuto has a thinner blade which holds a sharper edge. Suitable for all types of veggies, meats, and fish, a gyuto is best utilized with a downward slice, versus any chopping or aggressive cuts. Lightweight and extremely sharp, it is versatile, comfortable, and a pleasure to use.

Handcrafted and forged by Japanese blacksmith, Shiro Kamo, this knife is hot forged by hand in SG-2 powder steel, heat treated to 62-63 HRC. The blades are tapered and have a beautiful nickel damascus clad design for a total of 31 layers and the octagonal walnut handles have a pakkawood ferrule. Kamo knives feature consistently even and thin grinds, clean blade finishes and fantastic attention to detail, not to mention the cutting performance to match.

Caring for your handmade knife:

Always hand wash and thoroughly hand-dry your knife
Wipe your knife down while you’re cooking, especially after cutting acidic foods
Lightly coat your knife with mineral oil before storing
Never store your knife wet, or allow it to soak in water
Never place knife in a dishwasher
Do not cut bones, frozen products, or pits
Do not twist, chop, hit, or pry with your knife. Always use in a locomotive slicing motion
Do not use a marble or glass cutting board. Always use a soft cutting board, such as wood

Due to the nature of handcrafting and traditional blacksmithing, each knife is unique and may have some cosmetic distortion or irregularities. This is expected and normal. Because these knives are handcrafted, they do not qualify for warranty services.
