Overview
The Takamura Migaki SG2 Gyuto 180mm is a compact, laser-thin performer from Echizen’s famed Takamura Hamono. Built around a hardened SG2 (R2) powder stainless core and clad in stainless steel with a refined migaki (hairline) finish, it delivers outstanding out-of-box sharpness, long edge life, and minimal food stick. At 180mm, it’s fast and nimble on smaller boards while packing the refinement and cutting power that made Takamura a go-to in professional kitchens.
Expect a keen 50/50 edge, a svelte spine with excellent distal taper, and Takamura’s hallmark grind that glides through onions, herbs, and proteins with ease. Stainless cladding keeps care simple—rinse, dry, and you’re done.
Common Questions
Q: Is 180mm too short for a main chef knife?
A: If you cook in tighter spaces or prefer precise control, 180mm feels quick and confidence-inspiring. Need more board coverage or big batch prep? Consider the 210mm sibling for longer draw cuts.
Q: Is it stainless and easy to care for?
A: Yes—both the SG2 core and the cladding are stainless. Wash by hand, dry immediately, pair it with a soft, knife-friendly board like the Hasegawa Pro to preserve the edge.
Q: How should I maintain peak sharpness?
A: Touch up with our Tokushu XL Buffalo Leather Strop between stones. When it’s time for a full refresh, use our professional sharpening service.
