Kagekiyo - White #1 Gyuto 240mm Akaro
In stock – Ready for dispatch (2)
Light for its size, the Kagekiyo gyuto is balanced around the kanji and with a long flat belly provides a smooth cutting experience particularly on larger ingredients while the thin tip allows for intricate work at the same time.
The blade has been paired with an equally well made and finished Akaro lacquer sided handle.

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.
