Kai Sekimagoroku - Gyutou Knife 8-1/4" Damascus

The AE-5205 is a Kai Sekimagoroku Damascus gyutou / chef knife with an 8-1/4-inch blade and strengthened black wooden handle. Its 33-layer patterned blade uses VG-10 steel, combining a distinctive surface pattern with the precise working outline of this knife format.

The complete knife measures 13-5/8 inches long. A shaped stainless-steel bolster and metal end cap frame the dark wooden grip, giving the Damascus range a coordinated appearance across the gyutou, vegetable and petty blade shapes.

The stainless-steel bolster and end cap coordinate with the other Damascus knives. This model pairs that grip with an 8-1/4-inch blade and 13-5/8-inch overall length; companion models change the blade shape for a different preparation task.
