A Japanese chef's knife with an efficient blade
This Japanese chef's knife features a damascened blade, manufactured using a precise forging technique. This involves creating a rigid steel core, which is then enveloped in several layers of softer steel. This process ensures optimal blade balance while protecting the core.
The core of this blade is made of Japanese VG10 steel. It contains around 1% carbon, increasing the steel's hardness. In fact, the blade reaches a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale, guaranteeing a long-lasting, high-performance cutting edge.
To complete the damascus structure, 68 layers of softer stainless steel are added around the core. This balanced construction protects the blade's rigid core. You can admire the superimposition of the different steel layers all over the blade's surface, creating fine waves with unique, elegant patterns.
An ergonomic handle for this Satake knife
The handle of this Japanese knife is made of pakkawood, a composite material renowned for its strength. This material is composed of resin and laminated wood, hot-pressed to guarantee great strength. What's more, the pakkawood grain gives each handle a natural, authentic look.
This damascus knife has been designed with a Western-shaped handle, enabling it to fit the hands of all cooks, whether right- or left-handed. The grip is ergonomic, offering optimum comfort even during prolonged use.
To ensure a secure hold, 3 stainless steel rivets hold the full tang blade firmly to the handle. A stainless steel bolster has also been added, ensuring the transition between blade and handle, and giving the knife ideal balance.
To care for your gyuto knife, wash only by hand with a soft sponge. Once washed, dry immediately with a clean cloth and store in a dry place. Do not leave your knife to soak in the sink, nor put it through the dishwasher.
