Takahisa Damascus Black Gyuto 21 cm VG-10

Gyuto is a versatile kitchen knife, inspired by traditional European chef's knives. Designed for versatile use, it is ideal for a variety of kitchen tasks, such as chopping meat, filleting fish, or cutting vegetables. The Takahisa Damascus series combines aesthetics and practicality, offering blades made of multi-layered Damascus steel—seventeen layers, to be exact!—with a core of renowned VG10 high-carbon steel. The “Tsuchime” technique gives these knives a unique, attractive design and provides the blade with a hardness of 61+/-1 HRC. Thanks to the combination of a durable core with flexible outer layers of Damascus steel, these knives are exceptionally sharp and durable. The black Pakka wood handle perfectly complements the elegant appearance of the knives. Each knife in this series comes in stylish packaging, ideal for gift giving.
