Handcrafted in Japan by Tsunehisa Cutlery, this Yuzo Enju Damascus 440C all-purpose Japanese knife is perfect for a wide range of everyday tasks. Its 15-cm blade offers a good balance between maneuverability, precision, and versatility. It’s suitable for cutting vegetables, fruits, boneless meats, and fish, as well as for chopping herbs.
The blade features aDamascus design consisting of a 440C stainless steel core and outer layers of stainless steel. The 440C alloy contains approximately 1% carbon, a composition that promotes hardness and edge retention. Its chromium content also provides good corrosion resistance.
With a hardness of 59 HRC, this blade effectively retains its edge while remaining easy to maintain. Its flat grind ensures a consistent cut and facilitates sharpening on a whetstone. The very delicate hammering creates a subtle pattern on the surface. The damascened ripples vary naturally from one blade to another, giving each piece a unique appearance.
The 15-cm size is ideal for users looking for a blade that’s more maneuverable than a traditional chef’s knife. It facilitates short, precise cuts and prep work done directly on the cutting board.
The handle is made of smoked oak, a dense and sturdy wood prized for its stability, mechanical strength, and resistance to moisture. The smoking process naturally darkens the wood fibers and brings out deep hues. The grain varies from piece to piece, making each handle visually unique.
Its octagonal shape provides a stable and comfortable grip. Its symmetrical geometry is suitable for both right- and left-handed users. It helps position the fingers precisely and control the blade during cutting.
The combination of natural wood and Damascus steel creates a harmonious whole that is both functional and authentic.
Use this handcrafted utility knife on a wooden cutting board or a soft surface. Avoid bones, frozen foods, and hard surfaces. Wash it by hand with a soft sponge, then dry the blade and handle immediately. Do not put it in the dishwasher to preserve the Damascus steel and natural wood. Store it in a knife block, on a suitable magnetic strip, or in a sheath. Sharpen the blade regularly with a whetstone suitable for a hardness of 59 HRC.
Tsunehisa handcrafts its knives in Japan. Its craftsmanship combines select steels, damascene finishes, and handles made from natural materials. Every step, from shaping the blade to crafting the handle, requires precision and consistency.
Delicate hammering, flat grinding, and polishing give each blade its final appearance. The ripples of the Damascus pattern and the grain of the smoked oak exhibit natural variations. Each knife thus has its own visual identity, while retaining a design suited for everyday cooking.
