At 61 HRC it holds a keen working edge through daily prep while remaining practical to maintain on Japanese water stones. The VG10 core is forged between two layers of damascus-patterned stainless steel using the Suminagashi technique - a traditional Japanese forging method that produces the distinctive flowing pattern visible on the blade flat. The outer layers protect the core from damage and oxidation. At 180mm this is the most compact gyuto in the Brown Pakka range - light, nimble, and well-suited to smaller kitchens, cooks who prefer a shorter blade, or as a secondary knife alongside a longer gyuto. The thin 1.4mm spine makes it exceptionally responsive for fine work.
