Yoshimi Kato VG10 Etched Damascus Gyuto 180mm Ebony Handle
The VG10 etched damascus line is one of the classic offerings by Yohsimi Kato. The carefully forged damascus pattern is vibrant and elegant. The state-of-the-art VG10 steel is heat treated to perfection yet offers an excellent value for money. In fact I consider this to be one of the best choices for first time Japanese buyers seeking performance, value and the beautiful damascus look.

Care Instruction
- Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
- Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
- Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
- Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
- It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
- It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.
