Tsunehisa Santoku Damascus AUS-10 185mm (7.3")
Crafted in Tosa, Japan, this Tsunehisa Santoku features a unique Damascus blade adorned with elegant, wavy patterns that make each blade truly one of a kind. The intricate layering and subtle steelwork create a mesmerizing texture that reflects the artistry of master blacksmiths.
Due to the choice of materials and precise final treatment of the blade by hand, the blade is simple to maintain, retains its edge for a very long time and is perfect for sharpening on water stones.
Suitable for first-time buyers of a Japanese kitchen knife. It can also serve as a wonderful gift!
BLADE SHAPE:
The Santoku, meaning “three virtues,” excels at slicing meat, fish, and vegetables with ease. Its thin, slightly curved blade allows for precise rocking cuts and delicate work. Balanced and lightweight, it offers comfort and control—ideal for both home cooks and professionals.
STEEL:
The blade is made from stainless AUS-10 steel, which makes its maintenance a breeze. Do not wash it in a dishwasher, but rather wash it by hand, wipe with a dry cloth, and then store it in a saya or sheath or display it on a magnetic knife holder to revel in its looks.
LAMINATION:
The hard AUS-10 steel core is clad in softer stainless steel using the traditional san-mai technique. This method enhances durability and protects the core from external stresses and chipping.
BLADE FINISH:
The knife sports suminagashi finish, a classic Japanese technique used to create the impression of marbling on paper. In this case, it was used on steel and the result are unique knives with a swirling, marble-like look. Each knife is truly unique.
HANDLE:
There is not a chef or a cook that would not enjoy holding the octagonal handle of this light-weight and beautiful knife. The handle is made of a dark and sturdy rosewood and has a light brown pakka ferrule.
BLACKSMITH:
Tsunehisa is a curated brand that brings together high-quality knives from Japan’s top smithing regions—Tosa, Seki, and Sakai. Each area specializes in distinct steels and techniques: Tosa is known for Ginsanko and AUS-8; Seki for the V-Gold series; and Sakai for its traditional single-bevel Honyaki knives.
