xMeet the Jikko Damascus Edition Gyuto
The 8.5-inch Jikko Damascus Edition Gyuto blends timeless handcraft with modern performance, making it a reliable companion for both home kitchens and professional prep spaces. Crafted to feel balanced in the hand and precise at the edge, this knife invites confident, controlled slicing from the first pull of the blade.
Exceptional blade artistry
The blade combines a VG-10 stainless steel core with a dramatic 67-layer Damascus cladding. This combination aims to deliver reliable edge retention and flexible resilience, while the hammered pattern helps reduce drag as you work through vegetables, meat, or fish.
- Hammered finish minimizes sticking for smoother slices.
- Hand-polished edge supports crisp, clean cuts with less effort.
Balanced, durable materials
A solid mahogany handle provides natural warmth and durability. The knife is designed with full-tang construction to improve balance and control, helping you guide the blade from tip to heel with steadiness.
- Ergonomic grip enhances comfort during longer prep sessions.
- Full-tang design contributes to steady, confident handling.
Engineered for precision
The blade hardness sits around 60 HRC, supporting a keen edge that resists dulling. A 15° Japanese edge is optimized for cleaner, smoother cuts, gliding through produce and protein with minimal resistance.
Heat-treatment that matters
Jikko’s three-stage process—annealing to relieve stress, hardening to form the core, and tempering to balance hardness with flexibility—helps ensure consistent performance and long-term resilience without compromising flexibility.
