This 210 mm Japanese Gyuto knife features a damask blade forged from multi-layered steel, visible in the subtle damask pattern on the blade's surface. Designed according to traditional Japanese lines, the blade's profile is thin yet sturdy, suitable for a wide variety of kitchen cuts.
The 210 mm (≈ 21 cm) blade offers a versatile balance between control and useful length for slicing, mincing, and chopping. The cutting edge is sharpened with classic Japanese symmetry, allowing for clean penetration into food while minimizing stress on the fibers.
The handle is Japanese wa style, octagonal, made of stabilized reddish-brown wood (red pakkawood), with a contrasting dark ferrule. This handle shape is ergonomic for most grip styles, providing a stable feel and good wrist positioning during prolonged cutting.
This Japanese knife is designed for general kitchen use: meat, fish, vegetables, and reflects a traditional Japanese aesthetic with attention to detail in the Damascus steel and the finish of the tang and handle.
