A Japanese chef's knife forged in Seki from 66-layer Damascus steel around a VG-10 stainless core. The full tang and thin, light blade give it balance and precision, and the pointed tip and flat heel cover slicing, rock chopping and tap chopping. It is a general-purpose gyuto for cooks who want one knife for fish, meat and produce. Against German-style chef's knives it is harder and thinner-edged, so it cuts more cleanly but needs more care; against other Damascus gyutos it is a conventional VG-10 build rather than a standout. Owners rate it highly, and the layered pattern on each blade is one of the things they mention most.

This Gyuto is a multi-purpose chef's knife forged in Seki, Japan, a city with 800 years of knife-making history. It suits a range of techniques and ingredients, including fish, meat, and produce.
The blade is made from 66 layers of Damascus steel around a VG-10 stainless steel core. The steel is compressed and folded into layers, which creates a wave pattern unique to each knife. The knife is full tang, which gives it a balanced feel and helps the blade keep its edge shape longer.
The blade is thin and light, with a pointed tip for precision cuts. The relatively flat heel suits rock chopping, where the edge is rocked from tip to heel. The blade's height gives good contact with the knuckles for tap chopping with the middle or tip of the blade.
