Japanese Quality Craftsmanship in Your Kitchen
The name "Gai" means "armour" in Japanese, reflecting the handle's exceptional durability. The 37 layers of damascus steel not only give the knife its distinctive appearance, but also contribute to the blade's strength and sharpness. The VG10 steel core is renowned for its hardness, enabling an extremely sharp edge that holds for a long time. At 13.5 cm, this knife is a perfect tool for precision tasks where larger knives would be too cumbersome.
Benefits of Damascus Steel and Ergonomic Design
Weighing just 85 g, the knife sits comfortably in the hand without feeling heavy during extended use. The damascus pattern is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also makes the blade resistant to wear. The balance between blade and handle has been carefully calibrated to give you full control – even during detailed carving tasks. The hardness of the steel means the knife can hold a sharp edge for a long time, but correct maintenance is required to preserve its quality.
