There are few knives that match the value of the TOJIRO BASIC DAMASCUS series, combining excellent craftsmanship with high-performance materials at an accessible price. Featuring a VG10 stainless steel core clad in multiple layers of softer stainless steel, these blades take a very sharp edge and hold it well through extended use. The Damascus finish gives each knife a unique look while adding durability and resistance to corrosion.
The 180mm gyuto is a versatile, easy-to-handle size that works especially well in tighter spaces or for those who prefer a more nimble feel. It handles a wide range of kitchen tasks including chopping, slicing, and detail work, while still being capable of processing proteins like poultry and fish. The blade features a slightly more complex grind with a visible secondary bevel, offering a different cutting feel compared to thinner, more uniform grinds.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry immediately after use. Do not use on hard items like bones or frozen foods. Use a quality whetstone for sharpening and avoid dishwashers to preserve edge life and handle condition.
