The Tsunehisa Nami AUS10 line is made with gorgeous polished Damascus blades and very nice solid oak handles. AUS10 stainless steel, which is very similar to AEB-L, is excellent steel for kitchen knives.
240mm Kiritsukes are versatile knives that can handle slicing, push- and pull-cutting, and other tasks in the kitchen. They have flat profiles and this one has a fairly good flat spot from the heel transitioning into a subtle belly and a finely crafted tip. It is perfect for all styles of cutting.
The Damascus cladding on this knife is stunning. The high polish and bold Damascus pattern, combined with an octagonal oak handle, make this knife stand out in a crowd.Brand: Tsunehisa
