Review: A very well-made knife. Super Sharp! All of the benefits of VG-10! - This is my 6th Yoshihiro purchase. Some reviewers claim having rust on the Yoshihiro high carbon steel knives. "Yes", this is what happens to high carbon steel knives. A light coating of oil is mandatory for knives of that type of steel. My Yoshihiro Deba is one of those knives. This series of knives is VG-10 and DOES NOT easily rust when hand washed and dried. To date, absolutely no rust. I bought the Santoku in this Hammered Damascus 46 Layer line three years ago. I have used it almost every day and can attest to its ability to keep an edge, resist rust or staining, and solid construction. With this knife, the 9.5 inch Gyuto, I have completed the full set. Last night, I used it to prep vegetables and slice ham. It is crazy sharp! The knife is not cheap, per se. But, it punches well above its price range. Most newcomers to Japanese knives will marvel at its light weight in hand. This Gyuto is versatile, handling veggies and meat slicing with no problems. It is not a meat cleaver, though. Buy a cheap cleaver for that sort of task. Highly recommended, AAA+!
Review: Now what am I going to do with these angel wings? - While I'm an amateurish-at-best chef, I do know a few things about blades- former boy scout, shave with a straight razor that I hone and strop myself, I've forged several knives of my own, etc. I'm, er, a bit fond of bladed objects. So when I tell you that this knife is sharp enough to take me by surprise, I hope you'll take my meaning. It passes the paper test with flying colors, it will very easily shave whatever hair you try it on (and the skin beneath if you're not careful!), but it passed my personal favorite test- the overripe blueberry. Forget slicing a ripe tomato, the paper-thin blueberry skin is a real test of a knife in my experience, and this knife handled it with surgical ease. On top of that, it is an absolute show-stopper aesthetically- the pictures don't begin to do it justice. I should note, however, what it is *not*. Do not labor under the misunderstanding that this is a folded steel blade- it is not. It is an extremely high-quality core of Japanese VG-10 steel with Damascus-style layering and a hammered finish to give it better durability and aesthetics. If you're looking for an actual Japanese folded-steel blade, look at a price point 10-20x what you see here and consider yourself lucky if you find one. If, however, you're looking for an extremely high-quality, beautiful, razor-sharp kitchen knife, I highly recommend this one.

## Features

- Blade Material: VG10 Stainless Steel / Edge Angle: Double Edged / Grade: Hammered Damascus / Handle Shape: Octagonal / Handle Material: Shitan Rosewood / HRC: 60 / Made in Japan
- Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG10 Core, the VG10 Hammered Damascus Series has been a perennial seller, combining performance, beauty, and extraordinary value.
- The most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have is a Japanese chefs knife known as a Gyuto knife. The Gyuto is a Japanese chefs knife with a curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth and has an extended tip for quick chopping that can be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables.
- Preparing delicious meals starts with taking wholesome ingredients and using the best tools such as a high quality chef’s knife to make every meal into something special. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from a farmer’s market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
- Proudly made in Japan. This knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade.
- Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very well-made knife. Super Sharp! All of the benefits of VG-10!
*by T***R on March 2, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice addition to my cutlery
*by D***T on October 2, 2013*

Never really had a (short) 180mm chef's knife(bar my four German and domestic knives, but they don't count) before, but I really have come to appreciate it's size, light weight, balance and acuity. For a rather inexpensive knife, I was impressed with the grind and finish on this gyuto. Likewise, for a VG type steel, it is surprisingly easy and fast to maintain the edge at utmost sharpness, provided one does not try to ruin it by using a steel(would probably roll the edge easily) on it, but rather a few light passes on a good stone. The edge I achieve in a couple of minutes, holds excellently for an entire day of intensive prep and still sharp enough to push cut paper. I could not ask for anything more, from a knife that only costs half as much as my favorite petty. The handle, being nice to hold and finished rather handsomely, rounds out this piece, that I've come to reach for, with a smile on my face. It's definitely not the best knife I own, by any stretch, but it garnered a five star rating, for being such an outstanding value, besides it's "flashy" good looks.
