The Shinko Series 8" Gyuto is a Japanese chef’s knife forged from 110 alternating layers of AUS-10 and VG-10 Damascus steel (55 layers of each). By pairing AUS-10’s toughness and flexibility with VG-10’s hardness and edge retention, this blade delivers razor performance and long-term durability. Finished to a 9–12° double-bevel edge and fitted with a stabilized maple & resin handle, the Shinko Gyuto glides through slicing, dicing, and fine prep with confident control.

 

Key Highlights

  • 110-layer Damascus construction: 55 layers of AUS-10 (toughness) + 55 layers of VG-10 (edge life) for balanced performance
  • 9° double-bevel edge: laser-sharp, low-resistance cutting
  • All-purpose Gyuto profile: rock, push, and pull cut with ease
  • Ergonomic stabilized maple & resin handle: comfortable, water-resistant, and unique
  • Neutral balance at the bolster: reduces fatigue during long prep
  • Includes: protective sheath & signature gift box

The Advantages of a Damascus Gyuto (AUS-10 + VG-10)

  • Steel synergy: AUS-10 absorbs cutting stress to reduce brittleness, while VG-10 provides the keen, long-lasting bite
  • Smoother cuts, less wedging: thin grind and acute edge glide through proteins and vegetables
  • Daily durability: stainless Damascus cladding resists corrosion and supports edge stability
  • Chef-centric design: generous belly for rocking, flat spot for push cuts, and fine tip for detail work
  • Functional art: each 110-layer blade shows a unique Damascus ripple paired with a striking resin-maple handle
