This is the new Butcher Knife from Kyoku Knives! The Kyoku Gin Series 10″ Bullnose Butcher Knife with Japanese VG-10 Core and Damascus Blade. As soon as I lifted this beautiful knife out the package my heart elevated. We used it on a standing rib roast and the blade cut along the bone and through meat like butter. It is a very nimble knife for its size, both my son and I loved it and cannot wait to use it again!
