Isshin Hamono Uzanami Kirituke Gyuto 210mm AUS-10

Product description

This Gyuto knife (Kirituke Gyuto) was made by the Japanese brand Isshin Hamono in Japan. The knife belongs to the Uzanami (渦波) series, which is known for its beautiful 67-layer damask pattern and extremely precise workmanship.

The blade is composed of a hard core of AUS10 (hardness HRC 60) and clad with 67 layers of stainless Damascus steel . This material offers an excellent balance between sharpness, hardness and corrosion resistance , while maintaining a sharp edge for a very long time.

The special "hamaguri" (conch-shaped) profile ensures smooth slicing with minimal resistance - the knife easily penetrates the ingredients while preventing slices from sticking to the blade. The result is precise, smooth and comfortable slicing even during prolonged use.

The handle is made of hard oak wood with a Japanese lacquer finish (urushi) , which ensures excellent resistance to moisture and wear . The elegant octagonal shape provides a firm and comfortable grip for both right- and left-handed users.

Each piece is hand-finished and embodies the spirit of traditional Japanese craftsmanship – a combination of craftsmanship, functionality and aesthetics. This knife is the ideal choice for both professional chefs and enthusiasts who appreciate the superior quality and beauty of handmade knives.
