The outer layers protect the core steel from damage and oxidation while the tsuchime hammered finish creates air pockets that reduce drag and prevent food from sticking. At 240mm, this blade covers the full length of large vegetables and proteins in fewer strokes. The octagonal rosewood handle sits naturally in the hand for extended prep sessions.
