Masutani Damascus Gyuto 18 cm VG-10

The Masutani Gyuto Knife with a blade length of 180 mm is the perfect Japanese equivalent of a chef's knife. It is suitable for most kitchen tasks.

Created by a talented blacksmith, Masutani Japanese knives offer excellent value for money. They are handmade in Echizen (Fukui Prefecture). They can undoubtedly be compared to many much more expensive knives. One of their advantages is their strong core made of high-carbon VG-10 stainless steel, covered with 31 layers of Damascus steel. This gives the blades a beautiful, eye-catching appearance. In addition, they are also extremely sharp, thanks to a special heat treatment process that gives them a hardness of 61-62 HRC. The handles are made of Pakka wood, which is known for its resistance to moisture and temperature. Masutani Japanese knives are a great choice for those who are just starting their adventure with this type of kitchen tool from Japan.
