Takamura Tsuchime Gyuto 18 cm VG-10

The Takamura Gyuto 180 mm Japanese Kitchen Knife is a classic chef's knife. It is the perfect tool for most kitchen tasks.

The Takamura VG-10 series includes excellent, hand-sharpened kitchen knives made of high-quality materials. They combine two key features: usability and top-notch workmanship. The core of each knife is forged from VG-10 stainless steel, which is surrounded by protective soft steel. It is worth mentioning that VG-10 is a high-carbon steel that has been specially designed for the production of kitchen knives. It provides the necessary sharpness, as well as durability and resistance to discoloration. In addition, the blades are finished with the “Tsuchime” technique, which gives them an exceptionally attractive, hammered steel look. Their hardness is 60-62 HRC. A special feature of the knives in this series are their very thin blades and perfectly matched Pakka wood handles. Each knife is packed in an attractive gift box.
