The Zakuri Blue #1 Gyutos are constructed using the highest grade of carbon steel in the industry. Aogami #1 steel is held in high regard by most knife lovers and users. They also sharpen up with relative ease. These also go by the name Karaku who is the same blacksmith.
210mm gyutos are the most popular sized knife we sell and this one has a nice profile for both rocking and push cutting. The knife is adept at most cutting, slicing, or chopping tasks. It is also small and responsive enough for fine detail work on garnishes and other items. It now comes with a rosewood oval handle that is a big upgrade over a regular ho wood handle.

This is my first carbon steel knife and my first purchase from CKTG and I couldn't be happier. I added on the finish sharpening service and my knife still shipped same day. The edge was mirror polished and sharp as razor. Also, where the tang is inserted into the handle was packed with bees wax which is a nice touch.
The handle is beautiful and the fit and finish are much nicer than anything I have felt at this price point. The blade is stunning to look at and with the edge Mark put on it glides effortlessly though potatoes, onions, celery, and carrots. I was able to slice paper thin shallots with it. It a great nimble and accurate knife that I'm sure will serve me many years.
