Tokachi 8" Damascus Steel Gyuto/Chef Knife 牛刀
The Tokachi トカㇷ゚チ Damascus Series by Shimeru showcases the perfect balance of striking design and professional performance. This 8" gyuto chef knife is engineered for chefs and passionate home cooks who demand precision, durability and modern elegance.
67-Layer VG10 Damascus Steel
At the core lies premium Japanese VG10 steel, clad in 33 layers of Damascus on each side to create 67 layers of exceptional strength and resilience. Hardened to HRC 62, the blade retains a razor-sharp 15° edge for superior cutting power, far keener than the typical 20–25° of most Western knives. From fine vegetable work to carving meats and fish, every cut feels clean and effortless.
Carbon Fibre Jet-Black Handle
The handle is crafted from sleek carbon fibre in a deep jet-black finish. Lightweight yet exceptionally strong, it provides a modern, high-performance grip that is waterproof, antibacterial, heat-resistant and non-slip. The new oval profile sits comfortably in the hand, ensuring a secure and fatigue-free hold even during long prep sessions.
Precision and Lasting Craftsmanship
Carefully balanced and expertly forged, the Tokachi 8" Damascus Steel Gyuto/Chef Knife delivers both beauty and functionality. Its stunning ripple pattern captures the artistry of traditional Japanese metallurgy while offering the sharpness and reliability demanded by today’s kitchens.
With the Tokachi Gyuto in hand, every slice becomes an experience of precision and control, transforming everyday cooking into a professional-level performance.
Crafted from professional-grade, heat-treated high-carbon steel, Shimeru Knives deliver exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. From the first slice, you’ll experience the precision that sets us apart.
Our knives are guaranteed to be the sharpest you’ve ever owned. No exceptions, no compromises—just razor-sharp blades that elevate your culinary experience.
Shimeru Knives feature uniquely designed handles that not only add a sophisticated touch to your kitchen but also provide a comfortable, secure grip for effortless chopping and slicing.
With a double-bevel edge sharpened to 15°—compared to the standard 20-25° of most Western knives—our blades allow for smoother, faster cuts, enhancing your cooking efficiency by 2 to 3 times.
Not sure which knife?
Answer a few quick questions about how you cook, and we'll match you with the perfect blade.
Bought this for my husband who's been getting into cooking more. He absolutely loves it. The damascus pattern is beautiful, way nicer than the pictures. He says the weight is perfect for chopping vegetables, makes quick work of onions. Came in a nice box too, felt like a premium gift.
Love the sharpness and the look. It is a bit heavier than I expected for a Japanese knife, but honestly I kinda like the extra weight now for chopping. Just something to be aware of.
Brilliant knife, exactly what I needed. The edge is so thin and sharp, cuts tomatoes like paper. Cant believe it was under $60. Been using it daily for 3 weeks now and it's holding up great.
Ok so I cook a lot and this knife is a workhorse. The blade is thin but feels strong. Makes quick work of carrots and potatoes.
This is a beautiful and very functional knife. The edge is incredible. I just wish the handle was a touch thicker, it feels a little slim for my grip. Still a great purchase.
Bought this for my dad for fathers day and he loves it. He's a retired chef and said the balance and weight are spot on for a gyuto.
Ok so I've had this knife for about a month now and it's just fantastic. The edge is still crazy sharp, I've only had to hone it once. Used it to break down a whole chicken last weekend and it went through the joints like nothing. The handle feels really solid in my hand, not slippery at all. My old Henckels feels like a butter knife now.
So I finally upgraded from my cheap grocery store knives. Cant believe the difference. This thing glides through tomatoes and peppers like they're butter. Worth it.
Really nice knife overall. The VG10 steel is no joke, it stays sharp. I love the look of it. My only thing is the handle shape, it's a little more oval than I'm used to so it took a few days to feel totally natural in my hand. But the cutting performance is top notch, definitely a massive upgrade from my old set.
Great value for the money. The knife came super sharp and well packaged. I think the balance point is just a smidge forward for my taste, but it's not a dealbreaker at all.
Presentation was really nice, came in a solid box. The knife itself is beautiful and performs even better. My new favorite kitchen tool.
