Kagekiyo White steel 2 Gyuto knife 210mm (8.3") Magnolia Wood Urushi lacquer handle
Baba Hamono Kagekiyo Gyuto knife is a high-end handcrafted knife, made by the highest level of Japanese artisans awarded with the title - "Dentou Kogeshi" (Master of Traditional Craft) Sakai City, Japan. 210mm long and ultra-thin, perfectly tapered blades made from high-purity Hitachi White steel 2 (Shirogami #2) carbon steel. Handle made from natural Magnolia wood covered with Japanese traditional lacquer Urushi.
The knife and the service were both amazing. Right out of the box, it's razor-sharp and quite robust. It has a nice feel and weight in the hand and has been a pleasure to use thus far. The delivery and service were both excellent. I've also ordered the Petty.

After use, wash it with a soft sponge, wipe the knife dry and store safely. Avoid cutting the bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.
Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards, and high-end composites, as well as quality plastics such as polyethylene, make acceptable cutting surfaces and will help protect and extend the life of the knife's edge. AVOID using glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, unyielding surfaces.
We think that sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones produces the finest results for your blades.
