The Gyuto Chef's Knife is the most versatile and essential tool for any cook. This Japanese chef's knife features a curved blade that rocks back and forth smoothly and has an extended tip for quick chopping of meat, fish, and vegetables. Handcrafted in Japan, this knife is not mass-produced and is ideal for both home chefs and professionals.

The blade of the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Gyuto Knife is forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, with a VG-10 gold steel core. VG-10 is a high-end Japanese stainless steel known for its exceptional hardness, allowing for a thinner and sharper cutting edge. The knife is stain-resistant and has a HRC level of 60, making it ideal for cutting through a variety of ingredients with ease.

To maintain the sharp edge of the knife, sharpening and honing should be done with water whetstones. It is recommended to hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use with acidic ingredients and to avoid using it on bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

The Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Gyuto Knife is designed to be lightweight and easy to maneuver, with a thin blade for a sharp edge. The knife comes with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle and a protective Magnolia Knife Sheath. The hammered texture of the blade prevents food from sticking, making cooking tasks more efficient.

Elevate your cooking experience with the handcrafted Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chef's Knife, a beautiful and functional tool for every kitchen.
