Kei Kobayashi R2/SG2 Gyuto 帶漆紅色 Pakka 木手柄

I have many Japanese knives; different profiles, different handles, different steel, and I really love this one. it’s an excellent addition. My favorite steel SG2. The profile of the blade is a very good universal shape, thin laser knife that just blows through everything easier than any knife I own. I love the simplicity of the handle and I like the fact that it’s not too long like a lot of handles are in my collection. Fit and finish is perfect. I appreciate the polished rolled edges. It’s balanced perfect right at the choil and is currently my favorite knife. A+

The most beautiful knife I own. Its an absolute pleasure to prep with. It feels like you are cutting air when slicing/dicing and everything in between. I haven’t wanted to pick up another knife since.

This is a true laser. When I first saw it, I was hesitant because of the handle shape (heptagonal instead of octagonal), and the color of the handle. But after using it for 2 weeks, they're non-issues and I've come to like it. It struggles a little bit with hard vegetables like carrots but it performs much better than all my other knives. No regret buying it.
