Tsunehisa VG10 Hammered Damascus

Tsunehisa Hamono is a mid-sized factory in Tosa, Japan, that has quietly built a strong following at CKTG, the kind of maker whose knives consistently surprise people who expected less at the price. The VG10 Hammered Damascus line pairs two classic Japanese surface techniques, hammered tsuchime texture and flowing suminagashi Damascus, on a VG10 stainless core with strong edge retention and easy maintenance.
