Blade Hardness
HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is. Kitchen knife steel typically falls in the high-50s to mid-60s on this scale. Harder steel is built to hold a fine edge over long use, while softer steel favors flexibility and easy resharpening. The right HRC depends on the steel and design, not a single higher-is-better number.
Stain Resistant
This steel resists rust and staining from moisture and acidic foods, making it easy to maintain with routine care.
Saya Cover
This knife comes with its saya cover included at no additional cost, shaped to its exact blade for the same custom fit customers pay extra for on other knives.

Product Details
A matched pair in Shitan rosewood: a 46-layer VG-10 hammered Damascus Gyuto in 8.25" (210mm) or 9.5" (240mm), with a 6" (150mm) Petty, each on an octagonal rosewood handle with mahogany bolsters. It is a complete starting kit for Japanese knives, one blade for the big jobs and one for fine work, with magnolia saya covers for both.
The Gyuto is a versatile all-purpose chef's knife, designed for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables with ease. Its lightweight and balanced construction allow for comfortable, precise cutting, and its double-edged blade ensures smooth, clean cuts every time. The Petty knife, with its 150mm blade, is perfect for smaller tasks such as peeling, trimming, or working with delicate ingredients. Its compact size gives you the control needed for intricate cuts and precision work, making it an indispensable tool in any kitchen.
Both knives feature an octagonal-shaped Shitan Rosewood handle, known for its durability and natural beauty, paired with double Mahogany bolsters for added strength and a touch of elegance. The ergonomic handle fits comfortably in the hand, ensuring a secure and safe grip, even during extended use. These knives are stain-resistant and easy to maintain, and their thin, lightweight construction allows them to glide effortlessly through ingredients, unlike the heavier, bulkier German knives.
The set also includes Natural Magnolia Saya covers, which not only protect the blades but also add a traditional touch to the overall presentation. With their exceptional performance, stunning design, and ease of use, this set of VG-10 Hammered Damascus knives is one of our most popular and highly regarded collections, perfect for both professional chefs and home cooks who appreciate the art of cooking and the quality of their tools.
