8.27" VG10 Damascus Gyuto

About this product

An 8.27-inch Gyuto in VG10 Damascus—longer Western-leaning chef length for slicing and general prep when you want Damascus patterning with a VG10 core. Gyuto geometry covers rocking cuts and longer slices better than a nakiri.

Use this as the primary board knife if you want one Damascus chef length before adding vegetable or petty blades. Compare against the AUS-8 8.27" gyuto when you prefer a simpler non-Damascus everyday steel.
