Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chef's Knife (8.25 (210mm))

The Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife is a handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knife that exudes both performance and beauty. Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series has been a perennial seller, combining exceptional quality, aesthetics, and value.

As the most versatile and essential knife for any cook, the Gyuto is a Japanese chef's knife with a curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth, featuring an extended tip for quick and precise chopping of meat, fish, and vegetables. Proudly made in Japan and not mass-produced, this knife is complemented by a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted octagonal handle that is lightweight and ergonomically designed to weld seamlessly to the hand for effortless use.

Preparing delicious meals starts with the right tools, and the Yoshihiro Gyuto Chefs Knife elevates even the simplest tasks. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from the farmer's market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, this handcrafted knife is as beautiful as it is functional.

The blade is forged from VG-10 stainless steel, a high-quality Japanese steel known for its exceptional hardness and edge retention. The 46-layer Damascus cladding not only adds striking visual appeal but also enhances the blade's toughness and durability. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking, ensuring a smooth and effortless cutting experience.

Consistent with traditional Japanese knife-making values, the Yoshihiro Gyuto Chefs Knife requires proper care and attention to maintain its razor-sharp edge. Sharpening and honing should be done exclusively with water whetstones, and the knife should be hand-washed and dried immediately, especially when used with acidic ingredients. It is not recommended for use on bones, nutshells, or frozen foods.

Completing the package is a protective wooden sheath called a Saya, which safeguards the blade and enhances the knife's appearance when not in use. The Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife is a true work of art, handcrafted by master artisans in Japan, and a must-have for both home and professional chefs alike.
