Specifications

Hand-forged in Echizen, Japan by Yoshimi Kato, this 210mm kiritsuke gyuto has a VG10 core with a damascus cladding. The blade is etched, making the layers stand out clearly. Its reverse tanto tip is useful for fine tip work. VG10 offers good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpens easily on stones. The knife feels light in the hand for its size. This is a solid pick for cooks who want a stainless kiritsuke gyuto with some visual flair alongside its performance.
