The Ittetsu VG-10 Damascus Tsuchime 160mm Gyuto is a compact chef’s knife built for precision, control, and everyday versatility.

With a profile closer to a traditional gyuto than a petty, this knife handles the full range of chef’s knife tasks—slicing, dicing, and chopping—while offering a shorter, more nimble feel on the board. It’s especially well-suited for detail-driven prep, smaller workspaces, or anyone who prefers a more controlled, agile blade.

Forged in Sanjo City, the knife features a VG-10 core steel heat treated to around 62 HRC, delivering reliable edge retention and consistent performance. The sanmai construction is clad in layered Damascus with a hammered (tsuchime) finish, helping reduce sticking while adding visual depth and character to the blade.

An octagonal mahogany pakkawood wa-handle provides a comfortable, balanced grip that feels natural in hand, whether you’re working through fine prep or everyday tasks.

Compact, capable, and easy to live with—this is a great option for those who want gyuto performance in a smaller format.
