Overview

Takeshi Saji’s VG-10 Gold Damascus Gyuto 240mm (No Handle) embodies the fusion of art and functionality. Handmade in Echizen’s Takefu Knife Village, this masterpiece showcases a striking gold-toned Damascus pattern, achieved through a specialized lamination of brass and copper. The core is crafted from VG-10W steel—an enhanced version of VG-10 enriched with tungsten—providing outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and an approximate Rockwell Hardness of 62. Its double bevel with a subtle hamaguri grind ensures each slice flows effortlessly through ingredients, while the 240mm blade length offers versatility for prepping anything from vegetables to proteins. Though shipped without a handle, envision pairing this blade with a sleek black horn handle or any custom option you desire to complete its look. Because Saji knives typically arrive in need of a fresh edge, we strongly recommend adding professional sharpening from day one.

Common Questions

Q: What makes VG-10W steel stand out over regular VG-10?

A: VG-10W incorporates tungsten, increasing both the strength and wear resistance without sacrificing its exceptional corrosion-resistant properties.

Q: Does the knife come sharpened and handle-ready?

A: The knife arrives with a serviceable edge, but Saji-san’s blades truly shine after a professional sharpening session. You will need to add a handle separately, giving you the freedom to customize the look and feel.

Q: How does the Damascus finish benefit performance?

A: Beyond its stunning appearance, layered Damascus adds a degree of structural integrity to the blade. It also helps with food release, though its primary draw is the one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
