Crafted in Echizen Japan by master blacksmith Shiro Kamo, his damascus series is crafted with high end powdered stainless steel, SG2. These knives are taller than most, with a lot of hand clearance. A thinner grind to other Shiro Kamo knives, they have a lovely cut feel.

Japanese Knife | Gyuto (Chef Knife)
The Gyuto, or Japanese chef knife, is widely considered to be the most versatile kitchen knife for both professional chefs & home cooks alike.
With a variety of sizes and shapes available, generally the Gyuto is similar to western style chef knives in shape, however thinner, lighter, made of harder steel and retains a sharper edge. They consist of a flat mid-heel section for chopping, a curve towards the tip for rock cutting and a pointed tip for precision work.
If you are going to purchase just 1 good knife, the Gyuto (or perhaps the similar Santoku) would absolutely be the knife to choose.
