Chimera - 10in (254mm) Damascus Gyuto - Dragonscale - Smooth Handle

"Chimera" 10in (254mm) k-tip gyuto chef knife. A stabilized maple handle, with green and red stylized dragon inlays, give this knife character and flavor. The clear resin coat brings out the awesome details in the wooden base while curves of the dancing dragons highlight the sleek design of this knife. The dragonscale pattern on the Damascus steel blade further reflects and rounds out the dragon aesthetic. Includes the sleek walnut saya shown.

The blade is a modern take on a classic Japanese knife. The gyuto inspired blade is made from VG-10 steel core clad with layers of stainless for durability (and it looks awesome). The folded layers of stainless are what give the blade it’s dragon scale appearance, and just like scales, the folded layers protect the inner core of the knife.

The handle is a hybrid style that makes it extremely comfortable to use, no matter your knife grip preference. An ambidextrous recess at the bolster area improves pinch grip comfort and stability. The full handle also provides plenty of space for a standard grip.
