Overview
The Kenshiro Hatono SG2 Kurozome Damascus Kiritsuke Gyuto 210mm pairs an SG2 powdered stainless-steel core with stainless Damascus cladding. The dark Kurozome finish brings contrast to the layered blade, complemented by an octagonal Japanese wa handle.
The nominal 210mm kiritsuke gyuto is intended for general kitchen preparation, from vegetables to boneless meat and fish. Its angular K-tip supports precise tip work. It offers a stainless alternative to Hatono's Aogami Super line for cooks who want a less reactive cutting edge.
Kenshiro Hatono works in Echizen, Fukui, Japan. He established Hatono Hamono Kobo in 2024 after joining Kamo Hamono in 2014.
Common Questions

Is this knife stainless?
The SG2 core and stainless cladding resist corrosion, but the knife still needs hand washing and prompt drying. Do not leave it soaking or put it in a dishwasher.
Does it come with a handle?
Yes. This listing includes an octagonal Japanese wa handle fitted to the knife.

Care
Hand wash with mild soap, dry immediately and store with the edge protected. Use a soft cloth or nonabrasive sponge to help preserve the decorative finish.
