SGSTRIX High-Performance Steel

At the heart of this knife is an SGSTRIX high-carbon stainless powder steel core, hardened to approximately 65 HRC. The steel is engineered to provide excellent edge retention while remaining relatively easy to sharpen compared with many other high-hardness steels. Its high corrosion resistance also makes it a practical choice for cooks who want premium cutting performance with easier maintenance.

Tsuchime Damascus Finish

The blade features a striking stainless Tsuchime Damascus cladding. The combination of the hammered Tsuchime texture and Damascus pattern gives the knife a distinctive handcrafted appearance while adding to its premium aesthetic.

Versatile Gyuto Profile

The Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent of a Western chef’s knife and is designed to handle a wide range of kitchen tasks. Its versatile profile makes it suitable for vegetables, meat, fish, herbs, and general food preparation.

With its approximately 200mm cutting edge and 210mm class designation, the knife offers an excellent balance between maneuverability and cutting capacity, making it suitable for both professional kitchens and serious home cooks.

Premium Siamese Rosewood Handle
