The Hatsukokoro x Yauji damascus aogami#2 single bevel gyuto 210mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife forged by blacksmith Yoshihiro Yauji. The core steel is aogami#2, known for its excellent sharpness and edge retention. The blade features a beautiful damascus finish, adding visual appeal to the knife. As a single bevel gyuto, it requires a bit more skill and practice to master compared to double bevel gyutos. At 210mm in length, it is a versatile size for a wide range of cutting tasks in the kitchen. This gyuto is a unique addition to any knife collection, offering the precision and performance of a single bevel blade in a classic chef's knife profile.
