Sakoda Hamono Hot Forged, Shirogami (White #2) Carbon Steel, Gyuto, with Red Sandalwood Handle (180mm)

Expertly hand-forged in Susaki City, Kochi Prefecture, this Sakoda Hamono 180mm Gyuto represents the skill and dedication of Tosa’s traditional blacksmithing heritage. Every blade is individually crafted by the artisans at Sakoda Hamono, who oversee the entire process—from forging and heat treatment to sharpening and finishing—to ensure exceptional sharpness, balance, and character.

Constructed in a San Mai (three-layer) configuration, the knife features a Shirogami #2 (White Paper Steel) carbon core renowned for its razor-sharp edge and ease of maintenance. The stainless-steel cladding enhances corrosion resistance, while the exposed carbon edge will gradually form a natural patina, enrich the knife’s appearance and protect the steel over time. The Kurouchi (“blacksmith’s”) finish adds a rustic texture and pays homage to the traditional forging aesthetic.

Compact, agile, and beautifully balanced, this 180mm Gyuto (chef’s knife) is an excellent all-purpose kitchen knife—ideal for precise slicing, dicing, and chopping. It’s paired with an octagonal red sandalwood handle, offering a warm, refined feel and excellent grip comfort.
