In the heart of Hanoi, master bladesmith Nguyên — a long-time partner of Kakushin — brings this 210 mm Gyuto to life through patience, precision, and fire. Its core of 52100 carbon steel delivers an edge that bites clean and stays keen, offering that unmistakable feedback only a well-forged carbon blade can give.
What truly sets it apart is its feathered Damascus cladding — a rare pattern etched into a deep charcoal finish. Subtle and complex, the layers only reveal their full beauty when the light hits just right. It’s a look that photographs can barely capture — understated at first glance, yet full of depth and movement up close.
Forging feather Damascus requires extraordinary control: dozens of precise folds, perfect symmetry, and a steady hammer hand. The result is a pattern as unique as a fingerprint — one that rewards those who take the time to look closer.
Kakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop. If you're new to the custom knife world and want to confirm the fit and sizing of a handle with a specific blade, feel free to reach out!
