Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chef's Knife (7 (180mm))

Yoshihiro Cutlery, a company specializing in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives, offers the Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife. This knife is a culmination of seven centuries of tradition intertwining with modern innovation inspired from Japanese ingenuity.

The Gyuto, the most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have, is a Japanese chefs knife with a curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth and has an extended tip for quick chopping. This knife can be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables, making it an indispensable tool for both home and professional chefs.

Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series combines performance, beauty, and extraordinary value. The VG-10 steel core, known for its exceptional hardness, allows the cutting edge to be constructed thinner and sharper, enabling the blade to seamlessly cut through almost any ingredient.

The knife is complemented by a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically designed for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use.

Proudly made in Japan, the knife's hammered texture eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade. Traditional Japanese knife-making values a sharp edge, requiring attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones, and the knife should be hand-washed and dried immediately, particularly when used with acidic ingredients.

The Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, combining performance, beauty, and the rich heritage of Japanese knife-making. It is an essential tool for any cook, whether a seasoned professional or a passionate home chef, who seeks to elevate every meal with a high-quality, handcrafted instrument.
