A Chef Knife That Cuts Cleanly and Looks Like No Other
This Japanese-style gyuto chef knife pairs a hand-forged Damascus steel blade with a striking handle of abalone shell resin, so every knife shows its own shimmer of blues and greens. It is light, well balanced and made for clean, consistent cuts every day: slicing meat, dicing vegetables and chopping herbs.
Why upgrade
What a good chef knife changes
The blade
Hard steel core, 67 layers of Damascus
The blade has a VG10 super steel cutting core, clad in premium high-carbon stainless steel and finished with 67 layers of Damascus steel, which gives it its wavy pattern.
With a hardness of 60 to 62 HRC and a sharp 12 to 15 degree edge angle, it is made for clean, consistent cuts and long-lasting edge retention.
- Cutting core: VG10 steel.
- Cladding: high-carbon stainless steel.
- Finish: 67 layers of Damascus steel.
- Hardness: 60 to 62 HRC.
The handle
Abalone resin with a stainless steel bolster
The handle is made of abalone shell resin, so each one shows its own shimmering colours. Its ergonomic shape gives you good control of the blade.
A full composite tang keeps the knife light and well balanced, and the stainless steel bolster finishes the join between blade and handle.
For every cook
Suitable for left- and right-handed users
The blade is double bevelled, so it works just as well in the left hand as in the right. A gyuto is the Japanese take on the classic chef knife: one blade for meat, fish, vegetables and herbs.
- Hand-forged in Japanese style.
- Light and perfectly balanced for long prep sessions.
- Double bevel for left and right hands.
- Clean, consistent cuts.
