Experience SLD Semi-Stainless Steel with a Distinctive Yaki Oak Handle

The Tsunehisa SLD Washiji KOY Gyuto 210mm is made in Japan from SLD semi-stainless steel - a tool steel that sits between carbon and stainless, delivering carbon-like sharpness and edge retention with significantly better rust resistance, finished with a washiji surface and a distinctive yaki (charred) oak handle.

The Specs

  • Steel: SLD semi-stainless tool steel - San Mai
  • Finish: Washiji (fine pear-skin) - reduces drag and food sticking
  • Blade length: 210mm | Double bevel
  • Edge grind: Even 50/50 double bevel
  • Handle: Yaki (charred/scorched) oak - KOY style
  • Note: Semi-stainless - more rust resistant than carbon but not fully stainless
  • Origin: Japan

The SLD Difference

SLD is a semi-stainless tool steel - harder and more wear-resistant than typical stainless steels, with edge retention closer to carbon steel, but with enough chromium content to resist rust far better than pure carbon. The washiji fine pear-skin finish reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the flat. The yaki oak handle is charred/scorched for a distinctive dark, textured appearance that is unique to this line. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.

Care & Maintenance

  • Hand wash and dry - more rust resistant than carbon but not fully stainless
  • Sharpen on Japanese water stones
  • Hone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod
  • Keep the oak handle dry - do not soak
  • Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
