The Gyuto

VG-10 is one of the most trusted stainless steels in Japanese knife making - a high-carbon, high-chromium alloy with added cobalt and vanadium that delivers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. At 60-61 HRC it sits in a practical hardness range: hard enough to hold a keen working edge through daily prep, tough enough to resist chipping. The 33-layer Damascus cladding adds structural support to the core and creates the flowing, wave-like pattern that makes each blade visually unique. At 270mm this is the longest gyuto in the M-107 series - a full-length blade favoured by professional chefs for breaking down large proteins, portioning fish, and long slicing tasks where a single draw stroke is preferred over multiple cuts. The extra length also provides more usable edge for rocking cuts on large vegetables. The octagonal oak Wa handle keeps the balance point forward, letting the blade do the work.
