Samurai Chef - Gyuto K-tip 10in Chef's Knife - Samurai Damascus

July 17,2024

The perfect chef knife for the kitchen samurai. Inspiration for ”Samurai Chef” derives from my admiration of the beautiful traditional katanas and the craftsmanship that went into the folded steel blades and cord wrapped handles. Cord wrapped handles look amazing but are not very practical in the kitchen due to the difficulty to clean. Using white glow-in-the-dark resin inlaid into a black dyed and stabilized maple, I recreated the beauty of the katana handle while making it super easy to clean. Turn the lights off and the pattern glows bright green in the dark! The ripples on the blade show off each layer of the elegantly folded and forged steel that made the samurai’s katana such a formidable melon slicer. The blade is made from VG10 core hardened to 60 HRC. Multiple layers of stainless are forged on both sides.

The blade is made from VG10 core hardened to 60 HRC. Multiple layers of stainless are forged on both sides of the blade that protect the core and result in the damascus layer pattern. VG10 is a high hardness stainless that doesn’t require the maintenance or care of a carbon steel. VG10 blades should be sharpened with a water stone, synthetic stone, or diamond. Do not use a honing steel on this blade. The edge angle is sharpened to 17 degrees. The blade is 10” (254 mm) long, 2.31” (59 mm) tall, & 0.1” (2.5 mm) thick at the spine. Total length of the knife is 15.19” (386 mm).

The gyuto inspired blade is made from VG-10 steel core clad with layers of stainless for durability (and it looks awesome). Our handles are a hybrid style that makes them extremely comfortable to use, no matter your knife grip preference. An ambidextrous recess at the bolster area improves pinch grip comfort and stability. The full handle also provides plenty of space for a standard grip.

Includes a walnut wood saya.
