Chef's knife with 61-layer Damascus and VG-10 core for precise cutting

This 18 cm chef's knife from Knifemakers is a Japanese handcraft forged by master bladesmith Takeshi Saji.

The elegant bone handle ensures a comfortable grip and perfect balance.

Ideal for professional chefs and ambitious home cooks who demand precision when cutting meat, fish and vegetables.

Japanese precision in your kitchen

The VG-10 steel core, with a hardness of HRC 61, gives the knife outstanding sharpness and durability. The 61 layers of nickel Damascus steel around the core not only create a beautiful pattern, but also reinforce the blade's structure and resilience. The polished bone handle sits naturally in the hand and provides the right balance between blade and grip, allowing you to work for extended periods without fatigue.

Professional cutting precision in everyday use

With this chef's knife, you have a tool that takes your cooking skills to new heights. The sharp 18 cm blade cuts effortlessly through both soft and hard ingredients with minimal resistance. The well-balanced weight of 280 grams gives you the right combination of control and momentum, so you can perform both powerful and delicate cuts with equal precision. The result is more even slices, better texture, and ultimately more flavoursome dishes with a professional finish.

Care for long service life

To preserve the knife's quality and sharpness, it requires proper care. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly after use. A thin layer of oil protects the steel against rust and significantly extends its service life. Avoid the dishwasher, as it can damage both the blade and the handle. With the right care, this chef's knife will remain a valuable tool in your kitchen for many years to come.
