Gyuto Japanese kitchen knife Sakai Takayuki Guren 1187 22.5cm

The blade length of the Sakai Takayuki Guren Japanese Gyuto kitchen knife is 22.5 cm.  Charred oak handles and a forged pattern are characteristics of the Guren series of knives.  Mr. Itsuo Doi, the son of famed blacksmith Keijiro Doi, created this knife. For almost 70 years, the Doi family has been producing some of the best forged knives.  As a mark of legitimacy, Mr. Doi's family crest is inscribed on the blade adjacent to the logo.  The Guren series was inspired by the vivid red flame created in the Doi forge when fine pine charcoal was burnt.
