Shiro Kamo SG2 Damascus Gyuto 240mm with Ironwood Handle. This knife is made by a master smith from Echizen. The size, weight, and responsiveness of this size knife make it a perfect choice for chefs looking to own just one good blade with great looks to match it's performance. The inner core of SG2 steel is one reason for this. SG2 is a great alloy for kitchen knives because it can be heat treated to a fairly high level, 63 HRC in this case. Yet it sharpens with relative ease and holds an edge as well as most steels. The softer outer layers of stainless steel contribute to the knife’s strength and resilience. Some rather tasty etching reveals the layers in a dramatic semi-matte fashion which aids in food release and just looks so cool!
The Kamo is no laser, yet it is still a light knife for its size. The lightness translates into a blade that is stiff and responsive. The blade length runs a bit longer than the 245mm specification.
The Shiro Kamo gyuto has a nice rounded belly and comes with an edge that is fairly sharp right out of the box. This is a great-looking knife that is a breeze to maintain and a joy to use. The classy-looking Ironwood handle perfectly complements the blade in terms of both looks and balance.
