Sapphire Dragon - 10in Damascus Gyuto - Dragonscale - Wavy Handle

“Sapphire Dragon” 10in (254mm) k-tip gyuto chef knife. The handle on this knife reflects the brilliant azure hide of the illustrious blue dragon. Featuring a cross-cut from the hide of the scarce beast, this knife boasts a delectable aura that enhances the flavors of any dish when wielded by the proper hand. 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. The unique wavy texture enhances the grip, especially when wet or greasy.
