Description

Tokachi 8" Damascus Steel Gyuto/Chef Knife 牛刀

The Tokachi トカㇷ゚チ Damascus Series by Shimeru showcases the perfect balance of striking design and professional performance. This 8" gyuto chef knife is engineered for chefs and passionate home cooks who demand precision, durability and modern elegance.

67-Layer VG10 Damascus Steel
At the core lies premium Japanese VG10 steel, clad in 33 layers of Damascus on each side to create 67 layers of exceptional strength and resilience. Hardened to HRC 62, the blade retains a razor-sharp 15° edge for superior cutting power, far keener than the typical 20–25° of most Western knives. From fine vegetable work to carving meats and fish, every cut feels clean and effortless.

Carbon Fibre Jet-Black Handle
The handle is crafted from sleek carbon fibre in a deep jet-black finish. Lightweight yet exceptionally strong, it provides a modern, high-performance grip that is waterproof, antibacterial, heat-resistant and non-slip. The new oval profile sits comfortably in the hand, ensuring a secure and fatigue-free hold even during long prep sessions.

Precision and Lasting Craftsmanship
Carefully balanced and expertly forged, the Tokachi 8" Damascus Steel Gyuto/Chef Knife delivers both beauty and functionality. Its stunning ripple pattern captures the artistry of traditional Japanese metallurgy while offering the sharpness and reliability demanded by today’s kitchens.

With the Tokachi Gyuto in hand, every slice becomes an experience of precision and control, transforming everyday cooking into a professional-level performance.
