Description

A versatile knife inspired by Japanese tradition

The Yuzo Haruto Damascus Japanese utility knife is a compact model that fits easily into any kitchen. With its 13.5 cm blade, it falls between a paring knife and a chef’s knife, making it an excellent companion for everyday cutting tasks. Whether you’re preparing fruits, vegetables, herbs, or small cuts of meat, it offers great versatility while remaining easy to handle for precision tasks.

Made in Japan by Tsunehisa Cutlery, this handcrafted utility knife combines traditional materials with a refined finish. Its hammered Damascus blade and magnolia handle give it an authentic look that will appeal to lovers of Japanese cutlery.

A damask blade designed for everyday use

The 13.5 cm blade is made up of several layers of stainless steel stacked on top of one another. This damascene structure results in a well-balanced blade while creating the characteristic wavy patterns visible on its surface. Each knife thus features a slightly different pattern, contributing to its unique character.

The core is made of Swedish stainless steel, an alloy prized for its balance of cutting performance, ease of maintenance, and corrosion resistance. After heat treatment, it reaches a hardness of approximately 59 HRC, providing a long-lasting edge suitable for everyday use.

The flat grind allows for smooth penetration into food and ensures clean cuts. The hammered finish complements the blade’s aesthetic while bringing out the relief of the damascene patterns. The overall design offers an elegant style that showcases the craftsmanship of Japan.

An ergonomic and elegant traditional handle

The handle is made of magnolia wood, a lightweight wood that feels pleasant in the hand and is often used in Japanese cutlery. Its natural grain varies from knife to knife, making each piece unique.

The white horn bolster contributes to the knife’s excellent balance. It also provides an elegant contrast to the handle’s light tones. Here too, the natural variations differ from one knife to another, further enhancing the knife’s artisanal character.

Its octagonal shape ensures a comfortable grip for both right- and left-handed users. It allows for good control of movements during repeated cutting and contributes to the knife’s overall balance.

How to properly care for my Yuzo Haruto Japanese knife

Even though it’s made of stainless steel, this Yuzo Haruto Damascus multipurpose Japanese knife requires some care to maintain its cutting performance. Wash it only by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then dry it thoroughly before storing it.

Do not put it in the dishwasher to preserve both the blade’s sharpness and the natural materials of the handle. Occasional sharpening with a suitable whetstone will help maintain the long-term performance of your handcrafted utility knife.

Tsunehisa cutlery carries on the Japanese tradition of craftsmanship through carefully crafted knives designed to accompany cooking enthusiasts in their daily lives.
