Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Damascus Gyuto Knife (Octagonal Ambrosia Handle)

Yoshihiro Cutlery, a company specializing in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives, offers the Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife. Handcrafted by artisans with centuries of lineage, the techniques used in creating these knives date back to medieval Japanese sword smiths who mastered the handling of fire, iron, and water.

The Gyuto knife, known for its versatility and essentiality in the kitchen, features a curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth with an extended tip for quick chopping, suitable for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. Made in Japan and not mass-produced, this knife comes with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle, providing a lightweight and ergonomic grip for seamless use by both home chefs and professionals.

Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG-10 Core, the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series is renowned for its performance, beauty, and exceptional value. The VG-10 stainless steel is known for its hardness and sharpness, allowing for precise cutting through various ingredients.

To maintain the sharpness of the blade, sharpening and honing should be done with water whetstones, while hand washing and immediate drying are recommended, especially when working with acidic ingredients. The knife boasts stain resistance in both the VG-10 steel core and outer Damascus steel, ensuring durability and preventing rust buildup during use.

The thin blade and overall lightness of the Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series make it easy to maneuver, enhancing the cooking experience for users of all skill levels. Each knife is handcrafted by master artisans, creating a unique work of art that elevates every culinary task.

Included with the knife is a protective wooden sheath called Saya, adding to its appearance when not in use. Whether you're preparing meals at home or in a professional kitchen, the Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife offers a perfect balance of beauty, functionality, and craftsmanship.
