The included sandalwood box helps keep the Japanese kitchen knife organized when not in use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09BC7WZ2F | | Best Sellers Rank | #422,257 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #1,564 in Chef's Knives | | Blade Color | Silver | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 8 Inches | | Blade Material | 7-Layer 440C Damascus Steel | | Blade Material Type | 7-Layer 440C Damascus Steel | | BladeLength | 8 Inches | | Brand | MITSUMOTO SAKARI | | Brand Name | MITSUMOTO SAKARI | | Color | Wooden | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 361 Reviews | | Handle Material | Maple | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 12.99 Inches | | Item Weight | 202 Grams | | Manufacturer | MITSUMOTO SAKARI | | Material Type | 440C Damascus Steel, 7-Layer 440C Damascus Steel, Maple Wood Handle | | Model Number | Damascus Chef's Knives | | Size | 8 Inches | | UPC | 752811505945 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Plain - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** MITSUMOTO SAKARI - **Color:** Wooden - **Handle Material:** Maple ## Images ![MITSUMOTO SAKARI 8-Inch Japanese Gyuto Chef Knife, 440C Damascus Steel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Kdy2QeWRL.jpg) ![MITSUMOTO SAKARI 8-Inch Japanese Gyuto Chef Knife, 440C Damascus Steel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91FUz0hKzmL.jpg) ![MITSUMOTO SAKARI 8-Inch Japanese Gyuto Chef Knife, 440C Damascus Steel - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ondp5C6cL.jpg) ![MITSUMOTO SAKARI 8-Inch Japanese Gyuto Chef Knife, 440C Damascus Steel - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zm1KMyzmL.jpg) ![MITSUMOTO SAKARI 8-Inch Japanese Gyuto Chef Knife, 440C Damascus Steel - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Mp0AQE92S.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this knife have a full tang?** A: I believe it does have a full tang. **Q: I’m trying to find out if anybody knows what the angle of the edge is.
