The Saku Gyuto is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife from the Hirotomo Hocho range, designed to offer excellent sharpness at an affordable price.
Its 140 mm blade is made using a three-ply lamination process: a high-carbon steel core (for the cutting edge) is surrounded by stainless steel on the sides. This construction gives the knife excellent cutting ability and a very fine edge, while limiting the fragility of the carbon steel core.

The blade is 1.8 mm thick, combining lightness and rigidity for precise cuts. Weighing in at 85 g, it offers comfortable handling for a variety of culinary preparations.

The polished rosewood handle offers a comfortable, stable, and durable grip. The version with a wooden case comes with a protective sheath, facilitating safe storage and transport.
