8" Gyuto Knife

About this item

• [ PREMIUM JAPANESE STEEL ] - The damascus steel blade is hand forged in Japan from 67 layers of high carbon stainless steel with an ultra sharp VG-10 steel core and is hand sharpened to a 14 degree angle by skilled Kimura craftsmen. The blade is heat treated to 61 HRC which offers a strong combination of edge retention, sharpness and rust resistance.
• [ HAMMERED FINISH ] - Kimura's japanese damascus steel knives have a traditional hammered finish completed by hand (tsuchime). This helps prevent food from clinging to the blade when chopping.
• [ MADE IN JAPAN ] - The 8 inch Kimura Damascus Steel Chef Knife is manufactured in Seki, Japan and is a popular choice for both professional and home chefs throughout Japan.
• [ ERGONOMIC & SAFE HANDLE ] - The handle is crafted from premium pakka wood which is non-slip and easy to grip offering superior comfort. Pakka wood is also heat and moisture resistant making it highly durable in the kitchen. Accompanied with a full bolster, the knife handle is ergonomic allowing chefs to choose between a regular, pointed finger or pinch grip.
• [ HIGHLY VERSATILE ] - The chef knife is a Japanese Gyuto which is the Japanese equivalent of a European chef knife. This makes the chef knife ideal for cutting, chopping and dicing meat, fruits and vegetables.
• [ MADE TO LAST ] - Our Japanese damascus steel knives are made from a single piece of hand forged 67-layer damascus steel with a full tang that is triple riveted and bolstered, which together provides exceptional strength and durability - Kimura’s knives are sure to stand the test of time.
• [ GREAT GIFT ] - Kimura’s Japanese chef knife is packaged in a premium gift box with a traditional Japanese Kanji design, making it an ideal gift for all occasions.
