The Kikuichi Warikomi Damascus Gyuto 240mm is a beautifully crafted all-purpose kitchen knife that blends traditional Japanese blade making with a familiar Western style handle. It is light, responsive, and designed to handle daily prep with confidence and ease.
The blade uses a VG10 cutting core wrapped in 17 layers of Damascus cladding. VG10 is known for its edge retention, stain resistance, and toughness, making it an excellent choice for a hardworking gyuto. The layered pattern gives the blade a classic and refined look, while the hammered surface helps reduce sticking by encouraging food release.
The Western-style handle is made from warm, natural wood and shaped for a comfortable, familiar grip. At 240mm, this gyuto offers extra reach for larger ingredients and more efficient slicing while still feeling balanced and easy to control. The thin grind provides smooth and precise cutting performance across a wide range of tasks.
Each knife is handmade by Kikuichi in Japan and carries the chrysanthemum crest, a symbol of their long tradition of quality and craftsmanship.
Care instruction: Hand wash and dry after use, and avoid the dishwasher.
