SAKAI KIKUMORI (KASUMI) 210mm Kiritsuke Gyuto

Gyuto knives are a Japanese-style Western chef’s knife which translates to ‘cow sword’ or ‘beef knife’. They are primarily used for slicing meat and larger ingredients. The Gyuto is the heart of any knife range due to its versatility.

These knives are generally characterised by their long, thin blades with a sharp, pointed tip and a curved edge. They are suitable for using a rocking cutting motion.

The term ‘kiritsuke’, or K-tip, refers to the acute angle of the knife tip. The K-tip is very handy for detailed knife tasks. However, the user will need to perform these tasks with care to prevent the point of the knife from being damaged.

The blade of this knife is hand forged by blacksmiths and the handles are made of wood. As a result there will be minor variations in blade length, appearance of the blade finish, wood grain and colour. The product images should be treated as a close approximation of what will be received.
