Overview
The Shibata Koutetsu SG2 Migaki 210mm Gyuto – Limited Edition with Red Saya is a razor-thin, laser-performing chef’s knife crafted by master sharpener Shibata-san in Fukuyama, Japan. This special edition pairs Shibata’s iconic Koutetsu grind with a bold, custom red saya featuring white ornamental linework that matches the handle. It’s a functional art piece built for precision slicing, buttery glide, and standout presentation.
Made from SG2 powdered stainless steel and finished in a refined migaki polish, this Gyuto delivers exceptional edge retention, smooth food release, and the effortless cutting feel that made Koutetsu knives world-famous.
Common Questions
Q: Is this knife good for home cooks?
A: Yes. Despite being a top-tier professional knife, its 210mm length and lightweight laser grind make it intuitive and easy for home cooks. It requires minimal pressure to cut and stays sharp far longer than most stainless knives.
Q: How should I care for this SG2 blade?
A: Hand wash only, dry immediately, and store in its saya. Use a wooden cutting board such as the Hasegawa Pro Cutting Board to protect the edge. Maintain sharpness with a light strop—for example, our Tokushu Knife leather strop—and oil the blade occasionally with Tsubaki Oil. For a perfect tune-up, our sharpening service is always available.
Q: What makes this version limited?
A: The red saya and matching red handle are not part of the standard Shibata lineup. These pieces are produced in extremely small batches, making them highly collectible and visually striking compared to the classic neutral variants.
