Handcrafted by Kei Kobayashi, this blade features a beautifully polished Damascus finish and an ultra thin, laser like grind with a refined distal taper. It moves through ingredients effortlessly, yet still feels confident and controlled on the board. Cutting is smooth, precise, and authoritative, exactly what you expect from a well-executed SG2 blade.

Fit and finish are outstanding throughout. The spine and choil are fluidly rounded for comfort, and the blade surfaces are polished to an almost mirror like smoothness. The octagonal rosewood handle, finished with a white pakka wood ferrule, is elegantly crafted, offering excellent balance and a secure, natural grip.

Kei Kobayashi began his career focused on sharpening and finishing, and that expertise is evident in every detail of this knife. The result is a true “laser” gyuto - thin, refined, and incredibly well executed. For its price point, this is one of the most well polished and performance driven knives you’ll find, ideal for cooks who value precision, comfort, and top-tier stainless steel performance.
