Kagekiyo VG10 Damascus Kiritsuke knife 210mm (8.3") Wood micarta
Baba Hamono Kagekiyo Gyuto knife is a high-end handcrafted knife made by the highest level of Japanese artisans awarded with the title - "Dentou Kogeshi" (Master of Traditional Craft) Sakai City, Japan. 210mm long, blade made from beautiful stainless Damascus steel, using high-purity steel VG10 as the central core. Japanese-style wood micarta handle.
I'm a home cook and have been using this knife for a month or so now. Before this, I had only used 210mm Gyuto's. Initially the 240mm felt big and a little intimidating but I quickly got used to the size and it has become my "go to" knife in the kitchen. It breezes through things like butternut squash way better than my other knives. It comes sharp out of the box and with VG 10 steel and the ebony handle, I find it easy to look after. Really happy with it!

After use, wash it with a soft sponge, wipe the knife dry and store safely. Avoid cutting the bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.
Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards, and high-end composites, as well as quality plastics such as polyethylene, make acceptable cutting surfaces and will help protect and extend the life of the knife's edge. AVOID using glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, unyielding surfaces.
We think that sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones produces the finest results for your blades.
