KITETSU Japanese chef knife made in Japan gyutou 8" Damascus VG10 SEKI city superior stainless blade 210mm

Q: what is the blade thickness?

Thank you for your interest! The thickest part of the blade is near the bolster, at 1.85mm. It gets a little thinner as you move toward the blade edge.

Q: Is the blade made in Japan?

Yes, the blade is crafted in Seki City Gifu Prefecture in Japan.

Q: Is the knife comfortable for XL hands? I'm looking to supplement my Zwilling Four Star Knives with a sharper Japanese knife for cutting vegetables.

I have large hands and have no problem working with the knife. Be careful, these are very sharp. Good Luck.

Q: 67 is a prime number which means it couldn't be Damascus steel which is made by folding. So how can this be?

Thank you very much for your question! Damascus steel can be created through the process of folding, forming a layered pattern. However, when incorporating core steel, the method involves placing core steel amidst the layers. Consequently, a total of 67 layers is achieved, comprising 33 fine layers of Damascus steel on each side, with a central VG10 Core layer, all enclosed by another set of 33 Damascus steel layers. Due to a tapering effect towards the cutting edge, applying acid treatment results in an exquisite 33-layer Damascus pattern being revealed on one side of the blade. If my explanation requires further clarity, I am more than willing to address any additional inquiries!
