Boasting a VG10 core for superior sharpness and durability, the versatile chef’s knife is paired seamlessly with a Japanese octagonal wooden handle while showing the true beauty of nickel Damascus.
This Gyuto knife from the Sakon Murakumo collection features a VG10 Stainless Steel core. VG10 is a highly sought, premium steel for Japanese cutlery due to its unparalleled sharpness, corrosion resistance, and durability. This allows the knife to stay sharp for longer periods making it an ideal and practical choice for everyday home use to the demands of professional chefs.
The VG10 core is cladded with a unique 33-layer Nickel Damascus pattern. The knife then undergoes a finishing process with acid corrosion, bringing out a natural silver luster, and enhancing the beauty of the Damascus blade. The knife is then polished to achieve a mirror-like finish.
Utilizing a wooden handle made with Keyaki wood and paired with a mahogany wood ferrule in an octagonal shape, it is a favored choice among top professional chefs for its optimal comfort and precision during use.
