I am not a professional chef, but I do a lot of cooking at home. I prep all of my meals and cook pretty much everyday--so this knife gets a good amount of use. I have prepared everything with this knife from sushi, to meats, to vegetables. It handles everything. I do not have to worry about the knife rusting during a 4-5 hour prep session. I simply dry it off really well before putting it away and I have never had a problem. I have also not had a problem with food building up on the handle like some other reviewers have reported. My knife had a quite flush finish where the handle meets the tang. The knife came to me quite sharp. I was able to wash the knife and use it right away with great results. I have a LINK KING STONE that I will be using to sharpen it soon. I'm sure I will get good results. If I get anything but good results I will update this part of the review. One thing that kind of surprised me though is that my knife was single bevelled on the right(luckily for a righty like me). I had read a question on here asking about the knife being double bevelled. So I have to wonder if this knife is designed to be double bevelled or single bevelled? Either way, sharpening will be easier and I have seen other sushi knives that are single bevelled. It is possible that this is a purposeful design. The handle is great and is real mahogany. As a woodworker, I love to see mahogany finished the way it has been on this knife. The knife is full tang exactly as shown and has a very solid feel when handled. This knife does not come with a saya(scabbard) so I definitely recommend picking one up. It will help protect the knife for decades to come. I personally got the 8.25inch version of this knife and so I picked up a Yoshihiro Lacquered Magnolia Wooden Blade Protector Saya Cover for Gyuto Chef Knife (210mm) to properly cover it while it is being stored. Dimensions of the knife can be seen in the photos I have attached. The box the knife comes in is very nice and decorative. This would make a great gift box. Pros: *Excellent metal composition *Takes a great edge *Great feel in the handle *Very solid construction Cons: *None Additional Considerations: You can spend many hundreds of dollars on a great Gyuto. This knife definitely hangs with the pros for a superior price. It is still a bit steep compared to the average knife sets you see in North American kitchens, but I wouldn't look anywhere else unless you have a very specific requirement of the knife (like being able to cut bone or something like that). This knife will do most everything you need--even if you are a professional chef. Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, 5 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Review: I've owned Wüsthof Dreizack and Sabatier knives. This beats them both hands down. Laser sharp edge. Gorgeous knife. It goes through tomatoes with extreme ease. DO NOT BUY THIS KNIFE IF YOU ARE AN AMATEUR in the kitchen. This is a serious Chef's knife, and just touching the blade to your skin will cut you. It has not yet gone through extremely heavy use, but for what it has done it holds an edge quite well. A few draws across my sharpening steel, and she's good to go again. If I need to dice alot of veggies, this comes out. The balance in my hand is perfect. It's not a heavy knife, and it doesn't need to be. Love this knife. ## Features - This product will be an excellent pick for you - This product comes in a proper packaging - It ensures an easy maintenance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00D6DVTM6 | | Blade Color | Silver | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 8.25 Inches | | Brand Name | Yoshihiro | | Color | Mahogony Handle | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (278) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00700987965568 | | Handle Material | Mahogany | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 8.25 Inches | | Item Weight | 181 g | | Manufacturer | YOSHIHIRO | | UPC | 723260912899 700987965568 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade edge:** Plain - **Blade material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Yoshihiro - **Colour:** Mahogony Handle - **Handle material:** Mahogany ## Images ![VG10 16 Layer Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife (8.25' (210mm)) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ftMJIxujL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the angle of the bevel?** A: Mine was OOB @15, but I took it down to 14 **Q: How do you care for this knife?** A: Yoshihiro Cutlery's Hammered Damascus knives are very easy to take care of. Hand washing and drying is recommended as well as using a good quality cutting board. Honing on Japanese whetstones is also recommended because honing steels can adversely effect the edge of a Japanese knife. **Q: Does anyone have a suggestion on a blade cover for this knife?** A: Yoshihiro Gyuto 210mm (8.25") Saya cover will fit to this knife.Thanks **Q: The handle smells very strong of paint. Anyone else? It’s so bad that I can’t touch my food directly afterwards** A: I do not have this problem. There should be no paint on the handle!?!? I wash wine, use wood oil on it, and then bees wax. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***Y on 16 November 2016* This knife has been great to work with.

Love this knife. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***2 on 31 March 2017* I bought this knife, along with the Zelite Infinity Chefs Knife 8 inch & Yaxell Super Gou Chef's Knife, 8-Inch to compare. This knife is crazy sharp compared to my current go to knife, a Wusthof Ikon 8 inch chefs knife ($200). I like the feel of this knife, however there are some small things I didn't like. I'm nitpicking, but the logo seems to be on the wrong side so when you hold it, it feels backwards. Also, there is a slight separation where the blade and handle meet. This is definitely a concern for food partials to sneak into and eventually be an unfixable problem. The packaging is kind of cheap as well, and my particular knife looked as though it had been tested and returned at least one other time. Some surface scratches which tells me it scratches easily. One swipe with a rough sponge will ruin the whole look of the knife. Only speculation though. After some basic tests, it's great for the price, but next to the Super Gou, which is in a higher price range, this one is going back... The super gou is just the best of the 3 beyond a doubt. A real Japanese style knife that is like a mini sword. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yoshihiro VG10 16 Layer Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife (8.25'' (210mm)) - Yoshihiro Natural Magnolia Wood Saya Cover Blade Protector for Gyuto 210mm - KING KW65 1000/6000 Grit Combination Whetstone with Plastic Base --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/256406109-vg10-16-layer-hammered-damascus-gyuto-japanese-chefs-knife-8](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/256406109-vg10-16-layer-hammered-damascus-gyuto-japanese-chefs-knife-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
