The Hitohira Imojiya TH Damascus Kiritsuke Gyuto 210mm Japanese knife is a versatile gyuto with a kiritsuke tip, combining the length of a classic chef's knife with a more angular profile for precision in fine cutting. Forged from VG-10 stainless steel at its core, it is wrapped in a distinctive 33-layer damask pattern, giving the blade excellent corrosion resistance and a refined aesthetic.
This san-mai (three-layer construction) blade offers a durable edge that can be finely sharpened. The gyuto kiritsuke excels at straight cuts, julienning vegetables, and preparing meat or fish. Its geometry allows for smooth cutting movements, while the sharp tip facilitates precision work.
The octagonal pakka wood handle, simple and sturdy, ensures a stable and comfortable grip, even during prolonged use. Its well-centered balance promotes control with every movement.
The cutting experience is clean and precise, with a thin blade that glides easily through food without breaking it. As with all Japanese knives, it is recommended to avoid bones or frozen foods. Wiping after use and regular maintenance will maintain the beauty of the Damascus steel and the performance of the edge.
