Yin Yang Mandala - 10in K-tip Gyuto - Raindrop Damascus

“Yin Yang Mandala” 10in (250mm) k-tip gyuto chef knife. The raindrop/wavy damascus blade is mated to a sweet handle made from stabilized and dyed maple with a black and white mandala resin inlay. The inlay goes deep into the handle, and will not wear away. Look closely at the detail in the handles. It's truly awesome. 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 deep black colored handle with scale patterns 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.
