Yoshihiro VG10 46-Layer Damascus Gyuto

Description

The Yoshihiro VG10 Damascus Gyuto is a masterpiece of Japanese bladesmithing. Featuring a VG-10 stainless steel core wrapped in 46 alternating layers of high-carbon and stainless steel, this knife delivers a breathtaking Damascus pattern that is as beautiful as it is functional. The 8.25-inch blade achieves a razor-sharp edge of 15 degrees per side, making it ideal for precision slicing, dicing, and mincing.

Crafted for serious home cooks and professional chefs alike, this gyuto handles everything from delicate herb chiffonade to breaking down larger cuts of meat. The VG-10 core holds its edge remarkably well—longer between sharpenings than most Western knives—while remaining easier to sharpen than harder steels. The Yo-Deba-style octagonal handle provides a secure, comfortable grip for extended cutting sessions.

We recommend this knife for cooks who want a premium Japanese experience without stepping into the four-figure price range. It is the ideal centerpiece of any serious knife collection and a knife you will reach for every single day.
