The Taski Kaizen Damascus Gyuto 210mm is handmade in Seki City, Japan, and built as a true all-purpose kitchen workhorse. Its 8.5" blade handles meat, fish, and vegetables with ease, while the light 5.0 oz weight helps reduce hand fatigue during extended prep. The octagonal laminated wood handle provides a secure, comfortable grip and balanced control for daily cooking.
At the core is AUS-8 stainless steel hardened to 58–60 HRC, clad in 33 layers of Damascus steel for added strength and visual appeal. AUS-8 is known for being tough, corrosion resistant, and especially easy to sharpen, making this knife an excellent long-term performer that is simple to maintain. It takes a keen edge quickly and responds well to regular touch-ups. As with all quality Japanese knives, avoid bones, frozen foods, and hard cutting surfaces to prevent edge damage.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only. Dry immediately after cleaning. Do not use on bones, frozen foods, metal, glass, or stone surfaces. Always use a proper cutting board.Maker: Taski
