Nigara VG10 Gyuto 210mm - Custom Handle

Nigara VG10 Gyuto 210mm - Custom Handle

A versatile 210 mm gyuto with a VG10 stainless steel core, a hammered tsuchime surface and a flowing Damascus pattern. The slender blade suits everyday slicing, dicing and chopping, while the 48 mm heel height provides clearance for board work.

Choose from three individually photographed knives with custom wa handles, or select the unhandled blade for your own handle project.
