About the Shape - Kiritsuke

The Kiritsuke (切付包丁/切りつけ), like most traditional Japanese knives, is a single bevel knife, meaning that only one side of the blade is ground to form a razor-sharp edge. A double bevel Kiritsuke usually refers to a variation of the Gyuto knife with a Kiristuke-style edge, and is often labeled as a Kiritsuke Gyuto or a K-tip Gyuto.

About the Steel - AUS 10

Developed by AICHI Techno Metal in Japan, the AUS 10 steel has a higher carbon content than AUS 8, giving it a higher wear resistance. Typically heat-treated to 58-61 HRC.

About the Finish - Damascus

Damascus or "Modern Damascus" finish refers to the watery or wavy light and dark pattern of the metal. Suminagashi (墨流し) which literally translates to "floating ink" is another word used for the finish.

About the Finish - Tsuchime

Tsuchime (槌目) refers to a hammered finish. This could be a result from the forging process or be added/hand-hammered by the blacksmith to create an indented and unique finish.
