Kataoka Works Kyojyu Damascus Gyuto Knife

The 63-layer Damascus steel is a unique form that envelops molybdenum vanadium steel within layers of stainless steel. Its most outstanding feature is the exquisite pattern it displays. The blade is crafted with precision using a whetstone, ensuring its durability over a long period of time. Expert technicians have engineered the blade to be easily resharpened, utilizing both coarse and medium sharpening techniques. The handle, constructed of laminated reinforced wood with exceptional corrosion resistance, adds to the overall hygiene of the knife.

This exceptional piece is produced through metal processing techniques in Niigata Prefecture, Tsubame City, Japan, using steel derived from Indian wood and forged in the tradition of Syrian Damascus swords. The most remarkable aspect of this knife is the one-of-a-kind pattern that emerges during the solidification process of the melted cast steel, a technique shrouded in mystery to most onlookers. In the era of the Crusaders, this type of sword was highly coveted for its enigmatic beauty and esteemed weight. This distinctive pattern has been meticulously replicated on the blade of the Damascus steel knife as a tribute to its history.
