  • Blade: 33-layer Damascus steel with VG-10 core

Product Overview

Move from vegetables to boneless meat with a pointed gyutou that offers more cutting length than a compact petty knife. The AE-5205 has an 8-1/4-inch blade and measures 13-5/8 inches overall, making it the longest of these three Sekimagoroku Damascus formats.

The silver blade contrasts with a dark, moisture-resistant wooden grip. A stainless-steel bolster and end cap frame the handle, while the visible Damascus layers give the blade its distinctive finish. Made in Japan, this is a general-purpose choice for cooks who want one main knife alongside more specialized blades.

A chef knife for varied prep

The broad heel, gently curved edge and tapered point give the AE-5205 a versatile cutting profile. Use the longer edge for slicing boneless ingredients and the pointed tip for smaller, controlled cuts. Its profile is more rounded than the nearly straight-edged nakiri and longer than the compact petty knife.

Choose this format as a main prep knife when your work moves between different ingredients. For fine trimming in a smaller space, pair it with the AE-5202 petty; for a dedicated vegetable blade, compare the AE-5206 nakiri.
