Vanax Full Tang Gyuto Chef Knife Blank - VXC05 (VXC05)

Vanax Full Tang Gyuto Chef Knife Blank - VXC05

A full tang gyuto marries Japanese blade shape to Western build. The forward balance stays, but the handle becomes a straightforward two-scale job.

Uddeholm Vanax is nitrogen-alloyed super stainless and effectively immune to rust. It combines the corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless with 60 HRC hardness and cold-work tool steel wear resistance.

Every blank starts as certified Voestalpine stock. We profile and hand grind it in our own workshop, then send it back to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment — the same furnaces the steel came from.
