Tsuchime which is Japanese for “hammered” is the hand hammered finish that creates a beautiful pattern that functions as a traditional form of granton indentations which prevents the sticking of food to the sides of the knife.

The Blade
46 Layers Hammered Damascus with VG-10 Gold Steel Core
Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG-10 Core, the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series has been a perennial seller, combining performance, beauty, and extraordinary value.
VG-10 is a Japanese stainless steel that is often utilized in high end Japanese cutlery. It has a hardness, or a HRC level, that exceeds that of most other stainless steel cutlery on the market. Its exceptional hardness means that the cutting edge can be constructed thinner, and therefore sharper, allowing the blade to seamlessly cut through almost any ingredient placed in front of it.
Care & Sharpening
Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

Stain Resistant for a Peace of MindBoth the VG-10 steel core and the outer Damascus steel are stain resistant. This means that they resist the forming of rust when it is left wet during its use. The user is free to use the knife for extended periods without the worry of any rust buildup. The hard VG-10 steel is clad in a softer Damascus steel in order to give the blade an added toughness and durability. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade. |
Light and Easy to ManeuverThe thickness on Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Series is particularly thin, making for a blisteringly sharp blade and an overall lightness in weight that makes it easy to maneuver and use by just about anyone. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from a farmers market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional. |
Protective Magnolia Knife SheathA protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. This knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. |

Gary S –
Nice sharp knife worth every pennyI would buy this knife again it is sharp and I use it a lot
B. Thomas –
Attention to DetailYou know something is about to be really good when you have to peel back like 20 layers of very neat and symmetrical packaging. The first of three foam sheets was wrapped and folded carefully around the box and taped perfectly in the center. The box is textured black and gold flake for the lettering. The knife speaks for itself. Gorgeous. Light. Balanced. 8/10 edge out of the box. Blade is strait and centered. The saya is a little loose but does the job of protecting the blade. I would absolutely buy another. Love it.
Lars –

Amazon Customer –
Good knife, quality steel, good entry level Japanese chef knifeThis well balance lightweight Damascus steel blade is light and sharp.
Amazon Customer –
Great knife for a starter looking to get into japanese damascusVery beautiful knife and an enjoyable unboxing. The things I dont like about this knife is that the bevel is at an 80/20 grind. It is double beveled, but most of the edge is on one side. Its definitely a learning curve to sharpen, which leads me to the fact that it did not come crazy sharp out of the box. 20 minutes on my whetstone made it way sharper than the factory edge. Last the spine is very thick, when I cut a potato it kind of wedges it apart instead of slicing even though its sharp. Overall a great knife besides these few points. The saya is nice, it feels very durable. The handle is comfortable to hold. I would still recommend this knife to people.

Just Buy This Amazing Knife!I bought the 8.3 inch knife. Absolutely love the razor sharp blade, beauty, and craftsmanship. Wonderful customer service, too. Mine was hand delivered today. I just learned that I live only 3 miles nearby the store so I will be going there very soon to drop off all my knives for high quality Japanese whetstone sharpening and cutlery shopping. Goodbye Williams Sonoma and Sur La Table for knives! Yoshihiro Cutlery is now my go to cutlery store. For people who say the price is too high – high quality products and services are absolutely worth the cost. Highly recommend!
Kindle Customer –
Excellent bladeI have been using this knife in the kitchen for a couple weeks now and could not be happier. It’s light weight makes hours of work much easier. As a chef I could not recommend this knife more. The extra $19.99 for shipping is total BS!! this company should change that policy ASAP. It was just a small simple box and the extra charge is just childish and unprofessional.
Ben g. –
Great bladeThese knives are very good for the money, edge retention could be better, but they are easy to sharpen and a joy to use.
Vucko Velickovic –
Genuine Japanese knife.Sharp and well made. Totally worth the money.
Westin B –
This knife is worth the moneyThis is a amazing knife. 10/10 would buy again. I use it every single day at work in a fine dining restaurant and it’s never let me down. Perfect for literally every cut. Looks great, feels great, it is great. I would 100% recommend this knife to anyone that can afford it and works in a professional manner. This is NOT a knife for the house, there are many much more affordable options for home cooking. For work environment this is perfect! The edge keeps extremely well, especially if you do regular maintenance on the bevels with a honing rod. It’s resilient and keeps up with my workload (150-300 covers a night).
