Extra Large Gyuto Chef's Knife
If you live by the motto "size matters" in the kitchen, then this knife is designed just for you. With a blade length of 250 mm (approx. 10 inches), this tool dangerously approaches the dimensions of a short sword and becomes the absolute ruler of the cutting board in the hands of an experienced chef. This is an extended version of the classic Gyuto knife, allowing you to slice large roasts, heads of cabbage, pumpkins, or watermelons in a single, smooth stroke without having to "saw" back and forth. The blade is constructed from 33 layers of steel in a San Mai configuration, combining hardness, flexibility, and the breathtaking aesthetics of a Damascus pattern. The ergonomic handle made of noble Pakkawood with a red spacer ring adds a touch of luxury and ensures that this "kitchen sword" won't slip from your hand even during demanding tasks.

Extra Large Gyuto Chef's Knife with Hammered Damascus Blade
A Fusion of Japanese Tradition and Modern Metallurgy
This knife isn't just a blunt tool for separating matter; it's the result of centuries-proven methods. The core of the blade is formed by Japanese VG10 steel (known as "Gold Steel"), hardened to a respectable 60-61 HRC. This guarantees that the edge stays phenomenally sharp for a long time. However, to prevent brittleness, the hard core is protected on the flanks by layers of stainless steel and nickel.
An unmistakable feature is the Tsuchime (hammered finish) on the upper part of the blade. These dimples, reminiscent of blacksmith hammer strikes, are not just for decoration. They create air pockets that prevent ingredients from sticking to the blade. With such a long knife, you will appreciate this doubly – slices of meat or vegetables will fall away from the blade on their own.

How to Care for This Gem
Damascus steel and natural materials require care. Never put the knife in the dishwasher! Aggressive salts and high temperatures would irrevocably damage the handle and dull the edge. After work, rinse the knife, dry it, and ideally store it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip so that the edge does not touch other metal objects.
Important Warning: Although the knife looks massive, its edge is ground to extreme thinness for maximum cutting performance. This knife is not a cleaver! Do not use it for chopping bones, frozen foods, or opening cans. Given the blade length of 25 cm, be careful when maneuvering in smaller spaces and be mindful of where the knife tip is pointing.
