Premium Kurosaki Shizuku R2 Gyuto Japanese Chef Knife 240mm - High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade for Professional Cooking & Sushi Preparation

All knives from Masakage are handmade by master blacksmiths of Takefu's village and hand sharpened by one of Japan's best knife sharpeners, Takayuki Shibata san. When these knives come out of their box, they have an amazing sharpness and will stay sharp for an extremely long time due to Shibata san's masterful technique. Alambika is extremely happy to import and retail Japanese knives (from Takefu village) in Canada. The Shizuku Gyuto knife, as well as our whole kitchen knife collection can be seen and handled in our Montreal store.
