The Xinguo Björkmans Twist Gyuto is a remarkable combination of performance, craftsmanship, and visual appeal. It features Damasteel® DS93X™, a powder metallurgy stainless Damascus steel made from two premium alloys, RWL34™ and PMC27™. This combination offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, strength, toughness, and easy maintenance.
Damasteel® is one of the very few steel manufacturers in the world capable of producing stainless Damascus steel through powder metallurgy. Unlike a Sanmai-style blade with Damascus cladding over a separate core, DS93X™ uses a dual-alloy, coreless Damascus construction, meaning the Damascus material forms the blade itself rather than serving as an outer layer.
Xinguo’s exceptional workmanship is the true highlight of this knife. The blade features an extremely thin micro-convex edge with highly symmetrical edge geometry, offering smooth cutting performance and excellent control. Every detail has been carefully refined and rounded, including the spine, choil, and finger rest.
The Björkmans Twist pattern creates an elegant and dynamic appearance throughout the entire blade. The pattern remains visible across the full construction, with even the spine and finger rest revealing the Damascus layers. This gives the knife a fully finished appearance with no overlooked areas. Viewed from any direction, the level of detail and finishing remains consistently impressive.
For anyone with the budget who wants a genuine twisted Damascus knife but does not want the maintenance required by carbon steel, the Xinguo Björkmans Twist Gyuto could be the knife of your dreams.
