Overview

The Sakai Takayuki Homura Guren gyuto is forged by Itsuo Doi in Sakai, Japan. Its hammered kurouchi blade and octagonal burnt oak wa handle combine traditional forging with a distinctive, rustic finish.

This knife carries the maker's nominal 225 mm size designation. The knife measured by Tokushu Knife has a 210 mm cutting edge, 54 mm blade height and 246 g weight, making the actual dimensions clear when choosing your gyuto.

Steel and construction

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) carbon steel forms the cutting core, supported by iron cladding in a hammer-forged san-mai construction. The double-bevel, 50/50 edge is suitable for both right- and left-handed cooks. Use it for vegetables, boneless meat and fish preparation.

Handle

The octagonal burnt oak wa handle has an Urushi lacquer finish. Its contrast of light oak grain and darker burnt sections complements the textured blade. Natural wood grain and handmade finishing vary between individual knives.
