The Tsunehisa Nami AUS10 line is made with gorgeous polished Damascus blades and very nice solid oak handles.
The Tsunehisa 240mm gyuto featured here is made from AUS10 Stainless steel which is very similar to AEB-L. It's good stuff.
240mm gyutos are one of the most popular size for home chefs or pros alike. They are easy to handle and very responsive cutters. This knife has a fairly good flat spot from the heel transitioning into a subtle belly and a finely crafted tip. It is perfect for all styles of cutting.
The Damascus cladding on this knife is stunning. The high polish and bold Damascus pattern, combined with the octagonal oak handle, make this knife stand out in a crowd.Weight: 5.9 oz (168g)

Out of the box, it shaved hairs. I put it to first use for prep for a wine dinner. 8qt brunoise mirepoix, no problem. 10# diced potatoes, with ease. Cooked protein, right through. To be critical of this knife I would say that veg tends to stick a bit while cutting. This was my first aus10 knife. I own a couple aus8 and was impressed by them enough to want to give this a try. I would say fairly comparable to vg10. It holds its edge real nice. A solid workhorse. The clad damascus is easy on the eyes.
