Review: This knife is worth the money - This is a amazing knife. 10/10 would buy again. I use it every single day at work in a fine dining restaurant and it's never let me down. Perfect for literally every cut. Looks great, feels great, it is great. I would 100% recommend this knife to anyone that can afford it and works in a professional manner. This is NOT a knife for the house, there are many much more affordable options for home cooking. For work environment this is perfect! The edge keeps extremely well, especially if you do regular maintenance on the bevels with a honing rod. It's resilient and keeps up with my workload (150-300 covers a night).
Review: I found my brand! - After years of swearing by German forged steel, I was nervous about switching to a fine-edged Japanese blade. It didn't take long to get used to the switch and I doubt that I will purchase anything but Yoshihiro from here on out. The price is very reasonable and the knifes are a great value. This knife is 2 ounces lighter than my previous chef knife, which may not sound like a big deal, but any professional who spends hours a day with their knife will tell you what a difference it makes. I love how light and attractive it is and the case that carries it. Just be aware that it is a very thin blade and could be damaged easily. I already bent the tip trying to slice through some very thick cuts of brisket. I should have been more careful but I plan on purchasing at least two more Yoshihiro knifes. Find yourself a ceramic sharpener for honing it between tasks, it will keep the blade sharp for days on end. The only thing I wasn't aware of when I bought it is that the handle is unfinished and you will need to buy some oil to do so with to keep it food safe. It's not really a complaint so much though, I stained and finished it myself and that has just made it that much more personal. One of my co-workers has a usuba knife from these makers that I also really like. I plan on purchasing one myself soon. Great knifes!

## Features

- Blade Material: VG10 Stainless Steel / Edge Angle: Double Edged / Grade: Damascus / Shape: Octagonal / Handle Material: Ambrosia / Hrc: 60 / Knife Style: Gyuto Chefs Knife / Cover: Natural Magnolia Wood / Resistant: Yes / 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 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Attention to Detail
*by B***S on August 14, 2022*

You know something is about to be really good when you have to peel back like 20 layers of very neat and symmetrical packaging. The first of three foam sheets was wrapped and folded carefully around the box and taped perfectly in the center. The box is textured black and gold flake for the lettering. The knife speaks for itself. Gorgeous. Light. Balanced. 8/10 edge out of the box. Blade is strait and centered. The saya is a little loose but does the job of protecting the blade. I would absolutely buy another. Love it.
