Revolutionary Coreless Damascus Blade: At the heart of this knife is its groundbreaking "CORELESS" Damascus blade. Moving beyond traditional construction, this blade is forged from 69 alternating layers of high-performance VG10 and VG2 stainless steels. This complex process creates an incredibly strong, resilient blade that is hard to bend or break, while the layering of two hard steels ensures extraordinary sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. Each blade boasts a unique, stunning wave-like pattern—a testament to its intricate forging.
Seamless and Ergonomic Design: The blade transitions flawlessly into a sleek, sandblasted stainless steel handle, a signature design element from the acclaimed Chiaki Murata. This seamless, welded construction eliminates crevices where food can hide, ensuring the knife is exceptionally hygienic and easy to clean. The handle is ergonomically sculpted, featuring a distinctive "spoon cut" where it meets the blade, providing a remarkably comfortable and secure grip for perfect balance and control.
This is more than just a kitchen knife; it's a functional work of art. The innovative construction provides a cutting experience that is both powerful and precise, while its modern, minimalist design makes it a showpiece in any kitchen. Whether you are a professional chef or a passionate home cook, the iiZa 1310 Gyuto will elevate your culinary craft, delivering clean, effortless cuts every time. Experience a piece of Echizen's legendary blacksmithing heritage, reimagined for the modern kitchen.
