Yoshito Saku Blue #2 Gyuto 210mm

The Yoshito Blue #2 Gyuto measures 210mm on the edge. This small, family run blacksmith shop is new to kitchen knife making even though they've been making farming and gardening tools for over 90 years. Based in Kumamoto, we are their first international customer selling kitchen knives. These knives are nicely made and hand engraved. This transition from farm tools to kitchen knives is a common one with many of our blacksmiths. We've been able to help support these multi-generation businesses by encouraging them to diversify their product offerings as the farm tool business has declined over the past 40 years.
