The Hatsukokoro damascus gyuto 210mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife forged in Echizen by blacksmith Yoshihiro Yauji. This stainless steel gyuto features a Hitachi Silver#3 (Ginsanko) core in sanmai construction with stainless damascus cladding. Ginsanko is a stainless steel that sharpens easily and takes a keen edge, behaving more like carbon steel during sharpening while offering corrosion resistance. Heat treated to approximately 62 HRC. The blade measures 210mm with 49mm height. This Japanese gyuto handles general kitchen tasks from slicing to chopping. The full stainless construction makes it easy to maintain.
About the blacksmith: Yoshihiro Yauji is a blacksmith from Takefu Knife Village in Echizen who trained under master blacksmith Hideo Kitaoka. Born in 1983, Yauji developed a passion for steel tools and knives. After a 15-year apprenticeship, he began independent knife production in 2019, handling all forging, grinding, and sharpening processes himself.
