Tanaka SG2 Damascus Gyuto 180mm Western Handle, Japanese chef’s knife

This gyuto is an all-round chef’s knife for slicing, dicing and rock-chopping across vegetables, meat and fish. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Tanaka with a damascus finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The stainless steel keeps it easy to look after from day to day.

Care and everyday use

It is at its best for everyday all-round prep. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.
