If you're a fan of a tall gyuto then look no further. The exceptional edge and thin overall profile combine to create a knife that is very light in hand considering its size, a true high performance tool for every day use.

It's nimble in hand although we might point out that the heel and spine edges are quite square and might benefit from rounding off a little to improve comfort but in terms of pure performance and quality edge, this knife is excellent value and quality from Shiro Kamo.

About this range

First Impressions

The exceptional edge and thin grind in this range combine to create knives that are very light in hand and boast a tall profile for extra clearance when working with larger ingredients.

Beauty

The striking and rich black damascus pattern is a joy to look at and paired with a classic octagonal handle. For damascus fans Shiro Kamo is definitely one to check out!

In Hand

The SG2 range is made to be a little taller than typical sizes which provides more clearnace when preparing larger ingredients and the subtle distal taper and geometry provide great performance across the range. 

The spine on the SG2 range tends to be a little square and so perhaps not as smooth as knives where the spine has been rounded off. 

Durability

SG2 is easy to care for and has great edge retention properties and so it's a widely used choice for durable high performance knives.

Ease of Care

SG2 is a stainless steel and is easy to maintain and resharpen. Just follow our normal care instructions and this is a knife you will be using for many years.

Our Verdict

This is an easy range of knives to recommend, they boast excellent performance and geometry at an extremely competitive price point and if you're looking for a knife that's easy to look after with that beautiful damascus finish then this should be on your shortlist.

Range Specifications

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.

Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.

Protection & care for this knife

Due to the height of this gyuto, we recommend the larger 270mm gyuto magnolia saya or a large gyuto (27x5.5cm) blade guard to protect it.
