Tsunehisa Slicer VG-10 Damascus Tsuchime 240mm (9.4")
The Tsunehisa Slicer VG-10 Damascus Tsuchime 240mm is a Japanese kitchen knife designed for precision slicing of meat and fish. Its long, slender blade allows you to create clean, even cuts — perfect for sushi, sashimi, and other dishes where accuracy matters.
The beautifully textured tsuchime finish combined with the elegant Damascus pattern not only reduces drag while cutting but also adds a refined aesthetic to your kitchen. At its core lies high-performance VG-10 steel, known for excellent edge retention and easy resharpening.
An ideal choice for first-time buyers of Japanese knives — and a thoughtful gift for any meat or fish enthusiast.
BLADE SHAPE:
Sujihiki is a knife that is ideal for cutting cooked or raw meat and fish, as the extra-long and thin blade allows the cut to be made in one long, continuous stroke. This avoids the knife moving back and forth (the “sawing” motion) and results in an even and smooth cut of meat.
STEEL:
VG-10 (V for Vanadium, G for "gold" as in "gold standard") is made by Takefu Special Steel Company, a relatively small steel company that around 60 years ago managed to find just the right balance of different elements to create the most popular Japanese knife making steel today. VG-10 steel is stainless steel with relatively high Carbon (C) content (1%), 15% Chromium (Cr), 1% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.3% Vanadium (V) and 1.5% Cobalt (Co). The combination of Cr, Mo, and V forms a lot of hard carbides, making the steel abrasion resistant which translates to long-lasting, smooth sharpness.
LAMINATION:
The blade consists of multiple layers of steel which are forged welded together in what is known a san-mai damascus construction. This technique is used to protect the hard (but delicate) core from outside factors, such as rust and physical impacts, which could lead to breakage.
GEOMETRY:
It has a double bevel (symmetrical) blade.
BLADE FINISH:
The upper part of the blade features a hammered pattern, which then transform into an intricate damascus finish that flows down to the cutting edge. The blade was treated with hammer blows, resulting in a textured tsuchime look, which gives it a beautiful finish and also prevents food from sticking to the blade.
HANDLE:
Japanese (Wa) style rosewood handle with black pakka wood ferrule will fit well in your hands for both the hammer and pinch grip.
ABOUT THE BLACKSMITH:
Tsunehisa is a brand that combines a variety of high quality knives from different knife centers in Japan such as Tosa, Seki and Sakai. Their philosophy is that each region has its own steel and different manufacturing processes. For example, Tosa is known for its Ginsanko and Aus-8 steels, Seki is famous for producing excellent blades from the V-Gold steel group, and Sakai for its single-edged Honyaki knives.
