This series features relatively thin (but not quite laser-like) geometry in VG10 (a stainless steel at 60-61 HRC. These knives have nice convex grind from spine to edge and feature western handles made of micarta. While not the most tough and durable of the knives we carry, they are still on the tough and durable side of things, and will be great for home cooks and professionals needing workhorse knives alike. They feature better edge retention and food release than their aus-8 brothers, but being not quite as thin, may not move through tall dense foods quite as easily. The fit and finish is quite nice and the handles have some heft to them. We are happy to introduce this to our lineup and we hope you enjoy these as much as we do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyuto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Western\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mono-Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26.53mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 231mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.13mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.90mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.08mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kanetsugu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39357967990845,"sku":"MAT230GYDVGWNR","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/FU9A5674.jpg?v=1639612010","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/matsu-230mm-damascus-gyuto","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
