Features
- Blade Material: VG10 Stainless Steel / Edge Angle: Double Edged / Grade: Hammered Damascus / Handle Shape: Octagonal / Handle Material: Shitan Rosewood / HRC: 60 / Knife Style: Gyuto Chef Knife / Saya Cover: Natural Magnolia Wood / Stain Resistant: Yes / Made in Japan
- Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG10 Core, the VG10 Hammered Damascus Series has been a perennial seller, combining performance, beauty, and extraordinary value.
- The most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have is a Japanese chefs knife known as a Gyuto knife. The Gyuto is a Japanese chefs knife with a curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth and has an extended tip for quick chopping that can be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables.
- Preparing delicious meals starts with taking wholesome ingredients and using the tools such as a high quality chefs knife to make every meal into something special. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from a farmers market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
- Proudly made in Japan. This knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade.
- Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

This is my 6th Yoshihiro purchase. Some reviewers claim having rust on the Yoshihiro high carbon steel knives. "Yes", this is what happens to high carbon steel knives. A light coating of oil is mandatory for knives of that type of steel. My Yoshihiro Deba is one of those knives. This series of knives is VG-10 and DOES NOT easily rust when hand washed and dried. To date, absolutely no rust. I bought the Santoku in this Hammered Damascus 46 Layer line three years ago. I have used it almost every day and can attest to its ability to keep an edge, resist rust or staining, and solid construction. With this knife, the 9.5 inch Gyuto, I have completed the full set. Last night, I used it to prep vegetables and slice ham. It is crazy sharp! The knife is not cheap, per se. But, it punches well above its price range. Most newcomers to Japanese knives will marvel at its light weight in hand. This Gyuto is versatile, handling veggies and meat slicing with no problems. It is not a meat cleaver, though. Buy a cheap cleaver for that sort of task. Highly recommended, AAA+!

This is pretty far beyond what I think I can reasonably use to it's full potential. I'm not a chef and I don't even cook every day. I've used the same ok-to-average-knife for 11 years now. Finally decided to spoil myself and upgrade. This might end up being pass on to my kids. I also recently got some those ceramic knives (pretty in-expensive ones) to try, those are very sharp ... this thing feels far sharper. I really did not expect that. I'm not sure I can describe it without sound like a psycho now, but I like cutting things now. Do not try how sharp it is with your finger, watch your fingers when you chop stuff. The knife is quite light and nimble. Lighter than I would've expected. The blade is pretty thin. A bit blade heavy balance. Handle seems very light. The handle is nice though, comfy. It's not a rocking knife, the profile is too flat, but straight cuts push/pull are amazing and I can't get enough of how smooth it cuts. It's like gliding your hand on silk. Finish is wonderful, it looks, feels and functions like something that you think would be made in Japan. The layered steel looks great. The hammering is very pretty. I had to ogle at it for a while. I'd like to take care of it, I'll end up getting some wet stones, I guess. I read that you kinda need those things when you get to this level of a knife. Wipe it clean/dry and always hand wash (something I hear you must do for this level of a knife), granted I do that to my ceramic and my old basic knife too. Being a noob, will I use this to its full potential? Absolutely not ... do I care? Not really. I like to look at it, I like to hold it and I like to use it. It makes me happy and I will recommend it even if you are a noob in the kitchen. Maybe I'll just cook more often and get better ... Edit: about 6 months later. I still love this knife. It's still amazingly sharp, sharper than the knives I practice sharpening on with my new wetstones. It's a little silly how good the edge retention is. However, I noticed downsides now: the hammered finish does nothing to help the food slide off, it might even get food to stick more, a little annoying. I also wish I got the slightly longer one (I got 8.25" one, probably should have gotten 9.5"). Handle wood is very hard and survives bumps etc pretty well. I already bent the knife point but fixed it as well. I'm still very happy with my knife, though it's quite premium and if you skip the pretty parts you may be able to find even more functional ones (though personally, I doubt I'd notice the difference),

While I'm an amateurish-at-best chef, I do know a few things about blades- former boy scout, shave with a straight razor that I hone and strop myself, I've forged several knives of my own, etc. I'm, er, a bit fond of bladed objects. So when I tell you that this knife is sharp enough to take me by surprise, I hope you'll take my meaning. It passes the paper test with flying colors, it will very easily shave whatever hair you try it on (and the skin beneath if you're not careful!), but it passed my personal favorite test- the overripe blueberry. Forget slicing a ripe tomato, the paper-thin blueberry skin is a real test of a knife in my experience, and this knife handled it with surgical ease. On top of that, it is an absolute show-stopper aesthetically- the pictures don't begin to do it justice. I should note, however, what it is *not*. Do not labor under the misunderstanding that this is a folded steel blade- it is not. It is an extremely high-quality core of Japanese VG-10 steel with Damascus-style layering and a hammered finish to give it better durability and aesthetics. If you're looking for an actual Japanese folded-steel blade, look at a price point 10-20x what you see here and consider yourself lucky if you find one. If, however, you're looking for an extremely high-quality, beautiful, razor-sharp kitchen knife, I highly recommend this one.
