Made by Yasuda Hamono in Seki, Japan, this 240mm sujihiki belongs to the maker’s Kotetsu series, combining purposeful design with the distinctive beauty of hammered Damascus. Its long, narrow blade suits smooth drawing cuts through boneless meat and fish, making it ideal for carving roasts, portioning steaks and preparing delicate slices of sashimi. The slender profile reduces drag, helping produce clean, even slices with fewer strokes. A VG-10 core combines lasting sharpness with easy everyday care, while flowing Damascus patterns and a hammered tsuchime finish add texture and character. An octagonal pakkawood handle completes this elegant companion to a chef’s knife.
