This 7-inch Damascus gyuto chef knife is built for cooks who care about what they hold. Every detail — from the forged blade to the fitted handle — is made to perform.

The Blade

The blade runs 7 inches, forged from layered high-carbon Damascus steel using 1095 carbon steel and 15N20 alloy. The twisted pattern Damascus finish is hammered and etched by hand. No two knives carry the same swirl. The steel is heat-treated to 58–60 HRC, which gives you a sharp, lasting edge without brittleness.

The gyuto profile — wide belly, tapered tip — handles the full range of kitchen prep. Rock it through herbs, push-cut through vegetables, or slice clean through boneless meat. The pointed tip gets into detail work with ease.

The Handle

The handle measures 5 inches and is shaped from black Pakka wood — a resin-stabilized material that resists moisture, warping, and daily wear. It sits firm in a pinch grip or a full palm grip. The stainless steel bolster sits between blade and handle, adding forward balance and a natural finger stop.

This is a full tang knife. The steel runs the full 12-inch length from tip to handle end. That matters for balance and long-term durability.

FAQs

Is this knife handmade?

Yes. Each blade is hand-forged and hand-finished. Slight variations in the twisted Damascus pattern are normal and expected — that is what makes each knife unique.

What makes a gyuto different from a standard chef knife?

A gyuto has a longer, thinner blade with a more pronounced belly curve. It handles slicing and precision cuts better than a Western chef knife and is lighter for extended use.

Will the Damascus pattern fade over time?

Not with basic care. Rinse and dry the blade after each use. Apply a light coat of food-safe oil occasionally. Avoid the dishwasher — hand wash only.

Is the black Pakka wood handle durable?

Yes. Pakka wood is resin-stabilized hardwood. It resists moisture and cracking far better than untreated wood. It also holds up well under regular kitchen conditions.

Is a sheath included?

Check the product listing specs section. Sheath options may be available to add at checkout.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Shipping rates and available carriers are shown at checkout. Delivery times vary by region.

Is engraving reversible? 

No. Engraving is permanent. Double-check spelling before submitting your order.

Is this knife legal to own in my area?

Knife laws vary by country, state, and city. Please review your local regulations before purchasing.
