Tsuchime Damascus Gyuto

The Tsuchime pattern is a unique Japanese design created by first hand hammering the layered metal and then tempering it with heat, resulting in knives with unique hand hammered patterns. The Japanese Gyuto is comparable to a western style chefs knife, with a double ground edge suitable for right or left handed use. It is an all-purpose knife great for cutting meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. Similar in weight to many German knives, WGAD series is popular among people who want a western handle and a Japanese blade. The VG10 edge is one of the best modern stainless steels due to its fine grain structure and great durability. The hammered tsuchime finish helps release food from the blade.
