Kataoka Mfg 63 Layer Damascus Steel Knife Gyuto 210mm

The 63-layer Damascus steel is a type of steel that encases molybdenum vanadium steel within layers of stainless steel, creating a beautiful pattern as its standout feature. The blade is crafted using a traditional method of sharpening with a whetstone, ensuring durability for long-lasting use. Skilled technicians have designed the blade for easy re-sharpening, utilizing both rough and medium sharpening techniques.

The handle is constructed from laminated reinforced wood, offering excellent corrosion resistance and hygiene. This knife is manufactured using metal processing techniques in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, using Indian wood steel derived from Damascus steel and forged in Syria. The distinctive pattern that emerges from the solidification of melted cast steel in the blade is a hallmark of this unique knife, its origins dating back to the Crusader era when it was revered for its mysterious beauty and weighty significance.
