Yoshihiro VG10 16 Layer Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife

Product Description

Yoshihiro Cutlery, a specialist in premium Japanese kitchen knives, offers the handcrafted VG-10 Hammered Damascus Gyuto Chefs Knife. This knife is a perfect combination of performance, beauty, and value.

Handcrafted by artisans with centuries-old lineage, Yoshihiro knives are a result of traditional techniques honed by medieval Japanese swordsmiths. The craftsmanship has been passed down through generations, blending with modern innovation born from Japanese ingenuity.

The Gyuto knife, also known as a Japanese chefs knife, is an essential tool that every cook should have. Its curved blade effortlessly rocks back and forth, making it versatile for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables.

Made in Japan, the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Gyuto Chefs Knife is forged and hammered with 16 layers of steel in the traditional Damascus style. Its VG-10 core provides exceptional hardness, allowing for a thinner and sharper cutting edge. The blade is also clad in a softer Damascus steel, enhancing durability and toughness. The hammered texture reduces friction and prevents food from sticking to the blade.

To maintain the knife's sharp edge, it is important to follow traditional Japanese knife care. Sharpening and honing should be done with water whetstones, and the knife should be hand washed and dried immediately after use with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the knife on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

The elegant exterior of the knife features a 16-layer hammered outer steel that not only enhances its style but also ensures functionality by reducing friction and preventing food from sticking. The VG-10 steel core and the outer Damascus steel are both stain resistant, eliminating the worry of rust buildup.

The knife is balanced and comfortable to use, thanks to its premium handcrafted Mahogany handle that extends to the full tang.

In addition to the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Gyuto Chefs Knife, Yoshihiro also offers a range of other knives in the same series, such as the Petty Utility Knife, Kiritsuke Multipurpose Chef Knife, Santoku Multipurpose Chef Knife, Nakiri Vegetable Knife, and Sujihiki Slicer Knife.
