Forged using traditional craftsmanship techniques combined with modern metallurgy, SG2 Semi-Stainless Steel is created at extremely high temperatures to yield a durable steel composition suitable for industrial machinery and power tools. With a remarkable hardness rating of 64-65 on the Rockwell scale, this knife excels in maintaining its superior edge for an extended period, making it ideal for professionals engaged in high-volume prep work over long hours.

The semi-stainless steel core is clad with stunning Damascus stainless steel, enhancing both toughness and durability while ensuring easy maintenance. The Damascus steel showcases beautiful marbled wave-like patterns that flow from the tip to the heel of the blade, revealing a unique mosaic with each sharpening. Only the most skilled artisans can forge these metals into intricate puzzle-like formations, resulting in knives that exemplify both aesthetics and performance at the highest quality.

The Utility-Kiritsuke knife is a traditional Japanese all-purpose chef's knife, reminiscent of a sword. Its length allows for the effortless cutting of sushi and sashimi in a single stroke, while the wide blade offers the dexterity needed for various kitchen tasks.

For ultimate comfort and control, this knife is paired with a traditional Japanese ambidextrous octagonal Ocean Blue handle, which provides a firm, ergonomic grip. It also comes with a lacquered magnolia wood saya cover, providing easy cleaning and resistance to stains and odors. Crafting knives of such exceptional performance and exquisite beauty takes an extraordinary level of skill, showcasing the artisans' remarkable craftsmanship.
