Check out this stunning knife! It features beautiful hammer damascus with a mirror polish and is made with rare AUS-10 steel from Aichi Steel in Tokai, Japan. AUS-10 is a high-carbon alloy with added nickel, manganese, and silicon for improved ductility and elasticity. Other elements like vanadium, chromium, and molybdenum give it superior corrosion resistance. This line of knives is known for its lightweight and laser-like precision due to its thin distal taper. The fine blade is paired with a well-made handle crafted from solid oak. Highly recommended!

The Tsunehisa AUS10 Hammered Damascus Petty 150 is easily the most beautifully crafted knife in my collection. The knife is well balanced and feels comfortable in the hand. Screaming sharp out of the box, it transitions from tomatoes to onions to hard winter squash without hesitation. The hammered steel readily releases food so the knife is ready for the next slice. The AUS-10 holds an edge well and is easily maintained on a ceramic hone.
