Specifications

The Nigara tsuchime damascus VG10 kiritsuke gyuto 240mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife that combines a unique profile with eye-catching aesthetics. The core steel is VG10, a well-regarded stainless steel known for its good balance of sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The blade features a tsuchime (hammered) texture and a damascus finish, adding visual interest to the knife. The kiritsuke-style tip paired with the gyuto profile provides both precision and versatility in the kitchen. At 240mm in length, it is a practical choice for a range of cutting tasks. This knife offers good value-to-performance, making it a great option for those seeking a full stainless knife with cool aesthetics.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
