Night Lights - 210mm (8.25in) Damascus Gyuto Chef Knife

“Night Lights” 210mm (8.25in) Damascus gyuto chef knife. Scattered throughout the dark black resin of this ultra-tough wa-style polyresin handle is a smattering of gold leaf flake. The ensemble of smooth black resin and jagged gold flakes mirrors the bejewel aesthetic of a thousand shimmering stars against the backdrop of a brilliant night sky. 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.⠀
