The Damascus Matt Tsuchime 440C knife is a refined example of traditional Japanese craftsmanship blended with modern steel performance. Forged from premium 440C stainless steel and hardened to HRC58, this double-edged blade offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and balance, making it a reliable tool for both professional chefs and serious culinary enthusiasts. The blade featupores a hand-hammered Tsuchime finish, giving it a distinctive matt texture that not only enhances its visual appeal but also reduces surface friction, allowing ingredients to glide cleanly away with each cut.
The unique hammer pattern also contributes to an even edge profile, making re-sharpening straightforward and particularly well-suited to stropping. Along the blade, the traditional “刃鎚流作 / PATERU” serves as a mark of authenticity and artisanal precision. Finished with a striking burnt oak octagonal handle, this knife delivers both comfort and control, ensuring a seamless experience in the kitchen. Part of the exclusive Hammer Collection, this piece is ideal for those who value exceptional sharpness, fine detail, and the timeless beauty of Japanese blades.
Please Note: The handle colour varies from light to quite deep ochre. Not dishwasher safe.
