Tsunehisa Nami Santoku 16.5 cm AUS10

The Tsunehisa Nami Santoku has a blade length of 165 mm. It is a Japanese kitchen knife for universal use. Santoku has gained popularity in recent years and can often be found in private kitchens in Japan. It is perfect for chopping and cutting various products, especially meat, as well as vegetables and fruit.

The entire successful Nami knife series is hand-forged in Japan, more specifically in the Tosa region. These knives have blades made of unique Damascus steel, whose 33 layers surround a stainless steel core – AUS-10. Its properties contribute to the high durability of each core, and it is also known for its good sharpness retention. During production, the blades undergo a heat treatment process, which results in a hardness of 61 +/- 1 HRC. They have a high-polish finish, and the name of the collection, Nami, comes from the word “wave,” because the pattern on Damascus steel can be associated with ocean waves. This gives Nami kitchen knives a unique look. Their handles are made from a single piece of Japanese oak and perfectly reflect the traditional Japanese style.
