Introducing the Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Chef's Knife, proudly made in Japan by Yoshihiro Cutlery. This company specializes in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives, all of which are created by artisans with a lineage dating back centuries. The techniques used to craft these knives originate from medieval Japanese swordsmiths, who mastered the handling of fire, iron, and water.

The Gyuto Chef's Knife is forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, featuring a VG-10 core. This series has been a top-seller, offering exceptional performance, beauty, and value. The Gyuto knife is the most versatile and essential tool for any cook, suitable for dicing, slicing, and chopping a variety of ingredients.

The VG-10 steel core in this knife is known for its exceptional hardness, surpassing that of most other stainless steel cutlery on the market. The blade is also clad in a softer Damascus steel, adding toughness and durability. The hammered texture of the blade reduces friction and prevents food from sticking.

Specifications for this knife include a VG-10 steel core with a hardness rating of HRC 60, hammered Damascus steel cladding, stain resistance, a spine thickness of 2.5mm, a Japanese-style rosewood handle with a redwood bolster, and a magnolia knife sheath saya.

This knife is stain-resistant, allowing for extended use without worrying about rust. It is balanced for comfort and features a traditional Japanese octagonal rosewood handle. The protective magnolia knife sheath saya adds to the knife's appearance when not in use.

Customers have given this knife series high ratings for its performance and quality.

Priced competitively, the Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Chef's Knife is a must-have for any kitchen enthusiast looking for a high-quality, handcrafted Japanese knife. Handwashing and immediate drying are recommended, as well as sharpening with water whetstones. Avoid using the knife on hard objects like bones and frozen foods to maintain its sharpness.
