ZDP-189 GYUTO DAMASCUS 210MM (8.3")
ZDP-189 Gyuto in Damascus edition is now added to our ZDP-189 line of kitchen knives! This Gyuto, intended for versatile use for both home cooks and professional chefs who prefer medium size multi-purpose knife, is a rare breed, as there aren't that many Damascus patterns with ZDP-189 steel - especially at this price point! This extraordinary and uncommon Damascus pattern is made by various techniques, including drilling into the steel to get these circular shapes. Every piece has a unique pattern, making every knife a one-of-a-kind.
A traditional Japanese handle made of durable rosewood was attached to the blade. The asymmetrical D-shaped handle will fit best into the hands of right-handed users, but no worries, it can also be used if you are left-handed (the grip is not so distinct).
Gyuto is manufactured at the smithery of Yoshida Hamono in Japan, a family company with an age-long tradition in manufacturing state-of-the-art tools and Japanese swords, i.e. katanas, by hand. Yoshida Hamono has a great deal of experience forging ZDP-189 steel in the traditional manner. See the photo story from our visit to their smithery in 2016.
The heart of the knife is made of ZDP-189 steel, selected because systematic testing has proven its superior qualities and long-lasting sharpness. The steel is laminated, meaning that the core is made of very strong steel and covered with an external layer of softer stainless steel. Such a blade remains sharp for a very long time: its softer external layer makes it easier to sharpen, and it also protects the core steel from external factors.
