Black Gold Rush - 10in Damascus Gyuto - Tsuchime - Smooth Handle

“Black Gold Rush” 10in (254mm) k-tip gyuto chef knife. This elegant knife features our first ever hammered tsuchime 10in gyuto blade. The hammered pattern is strong at the spine and fades into our more classic raindrop Damascus pattern as the blade tapers toward the cutting edge, mirroring the rushing phenomenon of a busy, gold-filled river. The handle is a black gold variation, sporting gold leaf flakes surrounded by a cloud of black resin that hangs close to the contours of the flakes. Includes the 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 dragon scale appearance, and just like scales, the folded layers protect the 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.
