Tsunehisa Sujihiki AUS-10 Nawame Damascus 240mm (9.5")
The Tsunehisa Sujihiki AUS-10 Nawame Damascus 240mm is designed to cut thin slices of meat. Its long and narrow blade is intended for long pulls and precise cuts, making it perfect for slicing meat or boneless fish and also for filleting and skinning fish.
Suitable for first-time buyers of a Japanese kitchen knife. It can also serve as a wonderful gift!
BLADE SHAPE:
Sujihiki or slicer knives are primarily intended for long pulls and precise cuts of meat and fish. The long and narrow blade is particularly useful for slicing meat or boneless fish, or for filleting and skinning fish. The long blade allows the meat or fish to be cut in a single drawing motion, from heel to tip.
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 blade combines a refined damascus pattern with a hand-forged tsuchime finish, which gives the knife a distinctive texture and depth. The tsuchime pattern on the blade is designed in a rope or sailor's knot motif, reminiscent of intertwined threads.
The term nawame (縄目) literally means “rope mark” or “rope imprint” in Japanese. In the context of knives, it refers to a pattern that resembles twisted rope or knots, traditionally associated with maritime and craft symbolism.
The nawame pattern is not only a visual accent but also a functional finish, as it reduces food adhesion and improves the cutting process. The texture gives the blade a distinctive character and subtle three-dimensionality.
HANDLE:
The knife features an octagon Japanese (Wa) style handle made out of ebony wood. The octagon shape of the handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for precise control during use.
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.
