This ancestral Japanese method reduces drag, thus preventing food from sticking to the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForged with Japanese VG-10 steel, and 67-layer Damascus - often considered the gold standard of blade steels - it reaches a hardness of 61 HRC thanks to its 1% carbon content. This helps the blade take a very sharp edge and retain it for longer than regular knives. The addition of Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Cobalt in the steel alloy makes the blade stainless and easy to use and maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Seki, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRazor-sharp VG-10 Damascus steel Rust-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHammered blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalf tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrown pakkawood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHRC hardness: 61 +\/-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 142g (5 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfectly balanced for comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic-free gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KOTAI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53255982448906,"sku":"KT-JP-DS-GT180","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/5520\/2314\/files\/KOTAI-Densho-Gyuto-knife-18cm-japanese-knives-uk_6f5357f4-8c61-4de4-80bf-f05c6ef54bed.png?v=1782387225","url":"https:\/\/japanese-knives.co.uk\/products\/gyuto-knife-180-mm-densho-collection","provider":"japanese-knives.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
