This gyuto is a versatile chef’s knife with a 210 mm blade length, a slim geometry and a distinctive hammered finish. The blade is ground thin along the spine with 2.5 mm and is therefore very cutting-friendly, especially for vegetables, meat, fish and leafy greens.
The cutting core is made of 9Cr18MoV stainless steel. This steel is often described as a VG10-like alternative: rust-free, easy to sharpen, with good edge retention and a balanced mix of sharpness, hardness and low maintenance.
The core is clad with 66 layers of 420 stainless steel Damascus; together this creates the classic 67-layer construction. The Tsuchime finish reduces sticking of cut ingredients and gives the blade its striking structure.
The octagonal Wa handle is made of stabilized wood. It sits comfortably in the hand, is less sensitive to moisture than untreated wood and makes every knife visually unique thanks to the grain.
