Kanjo san is a small maker in Seki City Japan and he's turning out some lovely knives. These VG-10 Damascus knives are hardened to 60 HRC. A cladding of stainless damascus adds strength, shock protection, and great looks. The beautiful organic pattern is obtained by using an etched engraving technique. The fine-looking kanji script is also etched for durability, resulting in a great looking blade that is easy to maintain and care for.
The gyuto featured here is very similar to its other stablemates but in this instance, it wears Eastern boots, as in a yo handle! The cutting-edge measures 210mm which is a nice size for this style of knife when space or small hands are a consideration. But even if these are not issues, its compact dimensions make it a very nimble, light, and easy to maneuver kitchen cutter.

I was originally looking for a Gyuto in HAP40 steel but after finding this little hidden gem I had to pull the trigger. Love the look of the damasteel (might be damascus) and needed stainless properties with this kind of a curved profile. It was between this and the Gihei and for the savings over HAP40 I thought this was the best option for me. I have to say im thrilled with my purchase. The handle has a nice lacquered finish which is very welcomed, and after the CKTG finishing service, this thing is silly sharp. Im surprised to see this doesn't have reviews as I feel like this is a real sleeper.
