Tsunehisa AUS8 Gyuto 240mm is one of the best values on our site and that's saying something. Another new line we recently added to our canon of products from Tsunehisa is this range of AUS-8 based knives. AUS-8 is a lower-carbon version of AUS-10 and is similar to 440C or D2 steel. It is made in Japan by the Aichi Steel Company. You will occasionally see two AUS-8 steels being used by knife makers: plain AUS-8 and AUS-8A. They are identical steels but are processed differently after heat treatment. Plain 8 receives a cryogenic soak whereas 8A is annealed after being heat treated. This slow cool down process will alter the hardness by a few Rockwell points. The result is a very high level of corrosion resistance coupled with great hardness, toughness, and harden-ability, high levels of wear and abrasion resistance.

This 240mm gyuto features a good-looking tsuchime (hammered) finish. These dimples are formed by hammer blows and as well as adding to the fine aesthetic, resulting in a knife that easily sheds ingredients from its blade face.

The blade is attached to a stainless bolster in a full tang set up. The nicely finished handle completes a picture that is attractive and exceedingly functional especially given its very keen price.
