Suminagashi Gyuto Chef's Knife – VG-10 Core
€650,00
An all-purpose 225 mm gyuto. Japanese Suminagashi Damascus over a VG-10 core for a very sharp edge, long edge retention and good corrosion resistance. The walnut handle is stabilized with linseed oil rather than synthetic resins, so the wood keeps its natural feel.
Forged by hand in Latvia by Island Castle Tools, a third-generation blacksmith family. No two Damascus patterns are ever the same.
