Made to a JKC custom design. JKC have contracted the best commercial maker in Seki to produce this range of black Damascus blades with Japanese type wooden handle. The cold forged blade is tough, hard, and easy to look after. The sharpening, with the ultra-thin core is very easy and remains so over the many years this knife is designed to be used in a busy kitchen. Yasuo Black knife series has finished Damascus blade and the matte Damascus pattern running down to the darker grey edge and VG10 core steel are great. VG10 is widely used in Japanese knives because it’s easy to care for, durable and maintains an edge well and so you can expect the black Damascus knives to perform and last well. The gorgeous, very durable, and easy-to-clean, natural finished black Pakkawood handle for comfort and perfect balance.
This shape has an edge profile similar to a Santoku but with a very pointed tip. Ideal where the tip is needed for very precise fruit and vegetable carving or piercing soft foods.
Function – Multi-purpose chef knife. For Slicing, Dicing and Mincing of vegetables, meat and fish.
Normal length – 160mm to 240mm.
Tip: With the acutely pointed tip more care is required than a Santoku or Gyuto to avoid breaking the tip.
