Product Description Yoshihiro Cutlery is a premium Japanese kitchen knives company specializing in handcrafted knives. With a lineage spanning centuries, all Yoshihiro knives are meticulously crafted by skilled artisans. These techniques originated from medieval Japanese sword smiths who mastered the art of working with fire, iron, and water. Our wide selection is a harmony of seven centuries of tradition and modern innovation inspired by Japanese ingenuity.

Introducing the Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Chefs Knife, handcrafted in Japan. This knife is forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the traditional Damascus style, featuring a VG-10 Core. It has become a timeless favorite, offering exceptional performance, beauty, and value.

The Gyuto Chefs Knife, also known as a Japanese chefs knife, is the most versatile and essential knife for every cook. Its curved blade effortlessly rocks back and forth, allowing for quick chopping of meat, fish, and vegetables. Whether you're dicing, slicing, or chopping fresh produce from a farmers market, this handcrafted knife enhances even the simplest tasks.

The blade of the knife is made with VG-10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel known for its exceptional hardness. With a hardness level that surpasses most other stainless steel cutlery, the cutting edge can be thinner and sharper, effortlessly slicing through any ingredient. The blade is also clad in a softer Damascus steel, providing added toughness and durability. Its hammered texture eliminates friction and prevents food from sticking.

Specifications of the knife include a VG-10 steel core, a hammered Damascus steel cladding, stain resistance, and a spine thickness of 2.5mm. It features a Japanese-style Rosewood handle and a Redwood bolster. The knife comes with a Magnolia Knife Sheath Saya for protection.

This knife offers more than just functionality. Both the VG-10 steel core and the outer Damascus steel are stain resistant, ensuring rust-free usage. The handle is crafted in a traditional octagonal shape with natural Rosewood for a balanced and comfortable grip. When not in use, the knife can be safely stored in the included protective Magnolia Knife Sheath.

As with all Yoshihiro knives, the VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Chefs Knife is handcrafted by artisans who have mastered the techniques passed down from medieval Japanese sword smiths. It is truly a work of art.
