Premium Japanese Gyuto Chef Knife - 8 Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade for Professional Cooking, Slicing & Dicing - Perfect for Home Chefs & Culinary Enthusiasts

A unique feature of this knife is the Jigane, which is made by repeatedly folding together two layers of different types of stainless steel. This unique process creates a stainless Jigane with 16 exceedingly thin, alternating layers. The Jigane is then forge welded to both sides of a Cobalt steel core and tempered to Rockwell c63. This process creates a blade of great beauty, as well as strength. The addition of Cobalt and Manganese to the high-carbon steel core greatly increases durability and ease of sharpening. This knife is perfect for restaurant and heavy home use. It will never tarnish or rust. Pakka Wood handle is riveted to the full length tang.
