Gonbei 240mm Hammered Damascus Wa-Gyuto

The En Ginsanko series is a thin Ginsanko (stainless) knife with stainless cladding. While not quite as thin as our Gesshin Ginga or Ikazuchi series, they are almost as thin. Ginsanko is a great stainless steel that is generally easy to sharpen and takes a great edge. These knives feature a subtle convex grind on the sides and a very nice distal taper (taper from the heel to the tip along the spine). The tips are very thin. The En Ginsanko series come with ho wood octagon handles and ho wood saya.

Our Gonbei Hammered Damascus series is stainless steel (Swedish stainless steel). They come with ho octagon handles and are double bevel knives that can be used by either right or left-handed users. Like our Gesshin Uraku series, they are good workhorse knives... tough and durable, easy to sharpen, and has good edge retention. While not super thin, like our Gesshin Ginga line, they are by no means thick knives. We recommend these to professional cooks and home cooks alike as a good all-around knife.
