Hidari Tozo Sasaki, Bunka 170 mm (universal knife), AUS10 damascus
Hidari Tozo Sasaki bunka
Double-sided sharpened and laminated (suminagashi) blade of stainless steel with a core of Japanese AUS10 steel (with damascus outer layer). The blade is extremely thin and manually sharpened and has no thickening, which makes sharpening on Japanese water stones very easy.
These knives are made by the Sasaki brothers in Japan. The steel is forged between two layers of softer steel, this outer layer is made of pattern-forged steel which gives a very nice 'vortex' pattern. It ensures that the core steel is well protected against possible damage and oxidation.
