Myojin Naohito 210mm Gyuto SG2 Stainless Kasumi Teak Handle

Hand ground stainless clad SG2 stainless powder metal fine convex ground by Myojin Naohito at his workshop Myojin Riki Sesakusho in Tosa on Shikoku island.

SG2 is a very fine grained stainless steel that is capable of working well at very fine finishes and is known for holding it's peak sharpness for a good length of time. It must be noted these are ground very fine and will not tolerate rough use, no bones or twisting on cutting boards. 

Naohito-san became known to us here from his fabulous grinds and finishes on the Konosuke Fujiyama FM knives. We have been consistently impressed with how nicely these fine blades cut and at the quality of his finish work. It is exciting to get more knives finished by this young but very talented sharpener and now blacksmith as Naohito-san has begun to forge some of his own knives.
