Kuro Kuma Sumi 2 240mm Gyuto

The 240mm gyuto is a longer multipurpose chefs knife for slicing, rocking and chopping. While not as popular as the 210mm blade, the extra length gives it the upper hand when slicing, if you have the space on your chopping board.

 

Sumi 2 Knife Series

Sequels are tough. Living up to the hype of the original yet introducing something new to keep it interesting. To be totally honest most sequels are turkeys. For example – Zoolander – the original was funny as f*), controversial (it was banned in Malaysia) and gave us all inspiration to be really, really, really good looking. Zoolander 2 – TURKEY.

And then there are the Kill Bills of the world.

If the Sumi 2 was a movie the sequel is written by George RR Martin, Directed by Tarantino and stars Sean Connery, Idris Alba, Robert de Niro as well as anyone who has ever captained the USS Enterprise.
