The blade of this 180mm gyuto has been fashioned from a core of VG-10 core stainless steel which has had an outer cladding of a 17-layer damascus stainless alloy applied to either side. The softer stainless steel cladding is given a tsuchime (hammered) finish, which enhances the knife’s great looks and also helps in achieving better food release.
The mid 180mm gyuto is a real jack-of-all-trades in the kitchen. It can tackle virtually any ingredient, large or small, cooked or raw. This particular version of the ubiquitous chef knife possesses a great balance and fast cutting action. This is a wonderful rendition of East meets West. The western style handle is attractive and easy to care for with a sturdy full metal tang. It is very well finished and adds a touch of class to the attractive aesthetic of the damascus hammered blade.
The Japanese style blade is light and more nimble than its European and American counterparts. This is a really nice, durable, and very easy to maintain knife for all kinds of uses and users.Brand: Harukaze

I can tell i am not using the best knife on the planet, but for the price this knife is exelent, out of the box is razor sharp and is so easy to re sharpen, the blade format is very nice, goes very thing towards the edge, i work in a sushi bar and i use it to cut maki, in very busy services i have to re sharpen it every day and a half using a 2 K grit water stone to keep it super sharp all the time, is also very good for general cuting tasks such vegetables, fish and meat,

Very sharp, easy to manipulate, and avery handsome knife. It does a great job on tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, two items that can be downright frustrating with a below-average knife. I was especially impressed by the short amount of time it took to get shipped.
