Sakai Kikumori Asagiri Kiritsuke Gyuto 225mm

About Sakai Kikumori Asagiri – Forged by Yoshikazu Tanaka the Asagiri (Translates to “Morning Fog”) is a stainless clad series with a Shirogami No.2 core brought to us by Sakai Kikumori. The knives in this series also sport a steep k-tip and classic kasumi finish, and feel like the stainless clad sister series to the Tanaka made Shironiko Kasumi knives.

About the Shape – Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, Gyutos are a multi-purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. “Gyuto” translates to “cow sword.” If you want one knife to do it all, This is it. Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.
