- A Work Horse Chef’s Knife (Gyutou) with an extended cutting edge and ability to use the rock and chop technique. Great for cutting vegetables and built to slice through your largest cuts of meat such as briskets, roasts, and hams with ease.
- True 67 layer damascus clad steel (VG10 Cutting Edge with 66 Folded Damascus Clad Layers) and Rockwell Hardness of HRC 62 utilizing the San Mai Method. The softer outer layers protect the much harder cutting core allowing for an excellent edge without the fear of a brittle knife. You get the best of both worlds, performance and durability.
- Katashi blades are authentic damascus and (unlike our competitors) never use etching or lasering to imitate true damascus. After our steel has been folded and forged, we apply our refined sandblasting technique to guarantee the damascus has a beautiful finish and is absolutely smooth to the touch.
- Typhoon Damascus Pattern perfect for having this blade on display and impressing your guests.
- Double Bevel Sharpened by Hand using the Traditional 3-Step Honbazuke Method (8 degree on each side)
- Perfect as a Gift (Christmas, Weddings, Birthdays, Fathers Day, Mothers Day), for Home Cooks, Professional Chef’s, Culinary Students and more.
