Overview
The Takeshi Saji VG-10W Gold Damascus Gyuto 180 mm with Cow Bone Western Handle is a compact showpiece chef’s knife handmade in Echizen, Japan. Its VG-10W stainless-steel core is wrapped in Saji-san’s distinctive gold-toned Damascus cladding, creating a vivid pattern across the blade while keeping everyday maintenance straightforward.
The 180 mm gyuto profile offers agile control for vegetables, herbs, boneless proteins, and general daily prep. At 45 mm tall and 200 g, it has a reassuring, substantial feel without becoming cumbersome. A polished cow-bone Western handle, full tang, metal bolster, and twin pins complete the knife with the sculptural finish for which Takeshi Saji is known. Natural colour and figuring in the handle make this individual knife unique.
