American Dream - 210mm (8.25in) Damascus Gyuto Chef Knife

“American Dream” 210mm (8.25in) Damascus gyuto chef knife. The brilliance and the beauty of this blade are in the details: every dimple in the hammered steel blade, the crevices in the minute canyons between the gold leaf flake clusters, the shower of shredded cash, and the stars and stripes painted onto the grinning skull like the ultimate face tattoo. Includes the sleek walnut saya shown.

The blade is made from VG10 core hardened to 60 HRC. Multiple layers of stainless are forged on both sides of the blade that protect the core and result in the damascus layer pattern. VG10 is a high hardness stainless that doesn’t require the maintenance or care of a carbon steel. VG10 blades should be sharpened with a water stone, synthetic stone, or diamond. Do not use a honing steel on this blade. The edge angle is sharpened to 17 degrees and then stropped to a super sharp finish. The blade is 8.25” (210mm) long, with a convex surface grind.⠀
