Myojin Naohito SG2 Gyuto 240mm

Straight out of the box the SG2 feels impressive and sharp, and in all fairness you'd expect nothing else from someone who's well known for his sharpening and finishing work on Konosuke's FM Fujiyama line.

This is Myojin's first line of knives made and marketed under his own name and it's clear he's got a real eye for subtle beauty and understated style which is what makes him such an exciting blacksmith to follow. 

The kasumi finish is delicate and the tapers down to the  polished SG2 core draws the eye the length of the blade and paired with a classic teak handle we think these are some great looking knives for sure.

The finish is something that's a level above many knives and the subtle rounding off of the edges along the spine and heel just feel quality and show why you're buying a knife from someone who has a great deal of skill and experience in this area and who has worked on some very impressive knives already in his career.

SG2 is a great choice and popular among many blacksmiths for its ability to take and retain and edge and it's easy to recommend it as one that's going to perform for a long time.

The SG2 core steel is finished to an impressive 62-63HRC and will retain its edge and performance for a long time between sharpening. Beyond that, just follow our normal care instructions and this knife will last as long as you need it!

The knives in this collection are treated with a protective lacquer on the blades which we recommend you remove before using on food. This can be done by rubbing with acetone on some cotton wool until you can no longer see the rainbow coloured coating.
