Tsunehisa Nami Kiritsuke 21 cm AUS10

The Tsunehisa Nami Kiritsuke Utility Knife has a 210 mm blade and is suitable for use both at home and in professional kitchens. This Japanese kitchen knife is perfect for everyday tasks, such as chopping vegetables or cutting larger pieces of fish and meat. It is a multifunctional tool that is worth having in your kitchen.

The Nami series of exquisite kitchen knives are hand-forged in the Tosa region of Japan. They have beautiful blades with a stainless steel core called AUS-10, whose greatest advantages are high durability and good edge retention. The core is surrounded by 33 layers of unique Damascus steel, whose pattern resembles sea waves (hence the name of the Nami collection – “wave”). During the heat treatment, the blades achieve a hardness level of 61 +/- 1 HRC, while their high-polish finish adds to their uniqueness. The octagonal, classic Japanese-style handle is made from a single piece of Japanese oak.
