Yoshihiro VG-10 16 Layer Hammered Damascus Stainless Steel Gyuto and Paring Knife Set

Forged and hammered with 16 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, with a VG-10 core, the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series has become a perennial bestseller. This series masterfully blends performance, beauty, and extraordinary value, making it a favorite among both professional chefs and home cooks alike.

The Gyuto, a traditional Japanese chef's knife, is widely regarded as one of the most versatile and essential knives in the kitchen. Whether you’re dicing, slicing, or chopping fresh produce from a farmer's market or carving a roast chicken, the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Gyuto Chef Knife elevates even the simplest tasks. With its Western-style curved blade, this knife smoothly rocks back and forth, while the extended tip allows for quick and efficient chopping. The VG-10 core offers outstanding edge retention and durability, while the hammered texture of the blade reduces friction and prevents food from sticking. A premium handcrafted mahogany handle, extending to the full tang, ensures a comfortable and secure grip, and the knife is NSF certified, making it ideal for commercial kitchens. Every Yoshihiro Gyuto is handmade by master artisans, creating a unique and functional work of art.

The Yoshihiro Hammered Damascus Paring Knife is designed for smaller, precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits and vegetables. Perfect for intricate carving and styling for presentations and garnishes, this knife is just as effective at handling everyday tasks. The hand-hammered, layered Damascus steel blade offers excellent sharpness, edge retention, and stain resistance. It is easy to sharpen and highly durable, making it a practical choice for both professional and home kitchens. The natural mahogany wood handle is handcrafted to perfection and provides a secure, ergonomic grip. Like the Gyuto, the hammered texture of the blade helps reduce friction and keeps food from sticking. A full tang design ensures a balance of strength and control, making this paring knife a great value for anyone seeking a professional-grade tool.

Both knives in the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series showcase the extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail that Yoshihiro is known for, combining beauty, performance, and functionality in every slice.
