8.27" Japanese Chef Knife, SG2 Powder Steel Gyuto Knife, Hand-Forged
- 【Professional Japanese Chef's Knife】KAWAHIRO 8.27" features an SG2 powder steel core hardened to 64 HRC. Compared with steels commonly used in standard Japanese kitchen knives, its hardness helps the edge stay sharp during extended cutting, providing good edge retention under demanding kitchen conditions and reducing the need for frequent sharpening. Combined with its blade profile, it is well suited for everyday slicing, dicing, chopping, vegetable preparation, sashimi, and sushi preparation.
- 【3-Layer Forged Construction】This Japanese knife features a composite structure, with an SG2 powder steel core sandwiched between stainless steel layers on both sides, creating distinct and clearly visible layers in the blade. Combined with the durability and bending resistance of the full-tang construction, this sharp chef knife is less prone to breaking or handle separation while providing balanced weight distribution from front to back.
- 【Traditional Hand Sharpening & Grinding】Featuring a precise 12° edge, the blade delivers clean, smooth cuts with less effort, making everyday slicing, dicing, and chopping easier and more efficient. The blade features a hand-hammered silver finish, creating a natural, finely textured surface with a refined look. This textured surface helps reduce food contact and sticking, allowing ingredients to release more easily for smoother, more continuous slicing and chopping.
- 【Burl Wood Handle】The handle is crafted from burl wood and stabilized to improve moisture resistance and stability. Finely polished for a smooth feel and secure grip, it ensures comfortable control during kitchen tasks. Designed with ergonomics in mind, the handle provides a natural and comfortable grip, is less likely to slip from your hand, and offers steady support for precise blade control during frequent food preparation.
- 【Gift-Ready Presentation】This kitchen knife comes with a wooden storage box, making it ideal for storing the knife after everyday use and convenient for gifting, including as a birthday gifts for men, a gifts for men who like to smoke meat, or a Father's Day gift. The box provides a dedicated space for the knife, while its simple, natural design complements the knife for a coordinated and cohesive overall look, making the entire set feel more refined and complete when presented as a gift.
- 【Knife Care & Maintenance】Hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge after each use. Dry the blade and handle completely before storage. Never soak the handle or use a dishwasher. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area using a knife block, blade guard, or knife roll. For long-term storage, apply a light coat of food-grade mineral oil to the blade. Avoid frozen foods, bones, hard nuts, and hard surfaces such as glass, marble, ceramic, or metal.

What is SG2 steel?
SG2 steel, also known as R2 steel, is a high-end powder metallurgy stainless steel developed in Japan. It's a type of stainless steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ability to take a very sharp edge.
How does SG2 compare to other knife steels?
SG2 is considered a premium steel, often outperforming many other popular knife steels. It offers better edge retention than VG-10 and AUS-10, while being easier to sharpen than ZDP-189. It's also more corrosion-resistant than many carbon steels.
How long does an SG2 knife stay sharp?
With proper use and care, an SG2 knife can maintain its edge for a very long time. Many users report that SG2 knives stay sharp 2-3 times longer than knives made with more common stainless steels.
What's the best way to clean Kawahiro Japanese SG2 Gyuto knife?
The best method is to hand wash SG2 knife using warm water and a mild dish soap. Gently clean the blade and handle with a soft sponge or cloth, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately with a soft towel. Never put your SG2 Gyuto knife in the dishwasher.
Tips for daily use
Avoid using the KH-8601 Gyuto knife for cutting frozen foods, chopping bones, opening cans, or any other unintended purposes. Also, do not let acidic foods remain on the blade or soak the knife in water.
