Chef's knife, 24 cm, Takefu Yellow Bull, VG-10 61 layers

Japanese Chef's Knife with VG-10 Core and 61 Layers of Damascus Steel

This 24 cm chef's knife from the Knifemakers Yellow Bull series combines precision and beauty in a professional kitchen tool. The craftsmanship behind the knife comes from the Japanese Echizen blacksmith Takeshi Saji, where the VG-10 steel core is surrounded by 61 layers of nickel Damascus steel, providing exceptional sharpness and durability with a hardness of HRC 61. The elegant handle made of bone ensures a comfortable and stable grip.

Ideal for both precision cutting of vegetables and carving of meat and fish, where control and sharpness are crucial.

Professional Precision in Every Cut

The 24 cm long blade offers the reach and strength required for larger cooking tasks. The hard VG-10 steel core retains sharpness significantly longer than standard knives, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. The Damascus pattern from the 61 layers not only creates visual depth but also contributes to the blade's strength and resilience. The knife's total weight of 400 grams provides the perfect balance between control and power.

Comfort and Control Through Long Working Sessions

The polished bone handle fits naturally in the hand and provides optimal balance between grip and blade. This reduces hand fatigue during extended use and allows you to work with greater precision. The gray steel finish on the blade is not only aesthetically pleasing but also makes the knife less susceptible to visible marks from daily use. With this knife, you get a tool that functions both as a piece of functional art and as an extension of your hand in the kitchen.

Maintaining Your Investment

To preserve the quality and sharpness of the blade, the knife should always be hand-washed and thoroughly dried after use. A thin layer of food-grade white oil on the blade protects the steel from rust and extends the knife's lifespan. The dishwasher should never be used, as it can damage both the blade and the handle. Professional sharpening is recommended to maintain optimal sharpness.

This chef's knife excels in:

• VG-10 steel core with 61 layers of Damascus steel for superior sharpness and durability
• Elegant bone handle providing perfect balance and comfort during extended use
• Craftsmanship from the renowned Japanese master Takeshi Saji, ensuring quality in every detail
