The Hatsukokoro damascus gyuto 240mm 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 full stainless construction with 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 241mm with 50.9mm height. This Japanese gyuto handles general kitchen tasks from slicing to chopping. The full stainless construction makes it easy to maintain.

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.
