Plata o Plomo - 10in (254mm) Damascus Gyuto - Raindrop - Wavy Handle

Notify me when this product is available:

“Plata o Plomo” 10in (254mm) k-tip gyuto chef knife (name by IG @lujanalejandro). Flakes of shredded cash rise on columns of heat to the upper reaches of this magnificent knife handle. The bottom half of the ensemble, toward the butt of the knife, reflects a brilliant, high-depth resin, looking at once like a raging molten flame licking at wads of cash, and a pool of flowing blood drowning out the money above. This name means "silver or lead?", asking if you'll accept this offer you cannot refuse. Includes sleek walnut saya shown.

The blade is a modern take on a classic Japanese knife. The gyuto inspired blade is made from VG-10 steel core clad with layers of stainless for durability (and it looks awesome). The folded layers of stainless are what give the blade it's unique appearance and protects the hard inner core of the knife.

The handle is a hybrid style that makes it extremely comfortable to use, no matter your knife grip preference. An ambidextrous recess at the bolster area improves pinch grip comfort and stability. The full handle also provides plenty of space for a standard grip. The unique wavy texture enhances the grip, especially when wet or greasy.
