Benefits

A blade of 45 layers of hammered Damascus steel: The blade is built from 45 layers of hammered Damascus steel, as the listing states. The hammered finish gives the surface a dimpled texture and a rippled pattern that shows along the face of the blade.

A world-recognized special stainless core inside the layers: The listing describes the core as a special stainless steel recognized around the world, inserted between the Damascus layers. That choice gives the blade a stainless edge material to cut with.

A steel chosen to resist rust in everyday kitchen use: The listing states that the knife uses steel that is hard to rust. That makes everyday care simpler, because a quick wash and dry after cutting keeps the blade clean and ready for the next meal.

A wooden handle in the shape of a traditional Japanese knife: The listing says the handle gives the warmth of wood and takes the traditional Japanese knife shape. The pale octagonal handle and light ferrule in the photos match that description and feel natural to hold.

A 180 mm gyuto sized for home and hobby cooking: The listing describes this gyuto as the right size for home cooking and hobby cooking. At 180 mm the blade is easy to control, and it still handles meat, fish and vegetables for everyday meals.

A handle built in the traditional shape for steady control: The handle follows the traditional Japanese shape, which lets you grip the knife close to the blade for control. That suits precise vegetable work and fish, and keeps the knife balanced in a pinch grip.

How to Use

Cut on a wood or soft plastic board

Wash after use

Dry the blade fully

Resharpen when the edge softens
