Our take on the Suraisu Tsushima - Kiritsuke Chef Knife - 8 Inch

The Suraisu Tsushima is an 8-inch kiritsuke: a flat-profile Japanese blade with a VG-10 core clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel, hardened to about 60 HRC and sharpened to 15 degrees per side. It weighs around 220 g and has an olive wood handle, so it handles like a light chef's knife rather than a heavy Western one. The kiritsuke shape gives a long, straight edge for push-cutting and slicing, and the double bevel means it works for fish, vegetables and proteins alike. It suits cooks who want one light, sharp Japanese knife for most prep and are willing to care for a thin, hard edge.

Pros
  • VG-10 core with 67-layer Damascus cladding holds an edge well
  • 15-degree edge per side takes a very keen edge
  • About 220 g: light for an 8-inch blade, easy on the wrist
  • Flat kiritsuke profile excels at push cuts and clean slices
  • Olive wood handle gives a warm, individual look
Cons
  • Hard, thin edge chips if used on bone, frozen food or a hard board
  • 15-degree edge needs honing and occasional sharpening to stay keen
  • Carbon-rich core can stain if left wet
  • Flat profile and pointed tip are less forgiving for rock-chopping novices
  • Hand wash and dry only; dishwashers damage the handle and edge

About the Suraisu Tsushima - Kiritsuke Chef Knife - 8 Inch

The Suraisu Tsushima is an 8 inch kiritsuke chef knife, a traditional Japanese style of blade for general kitchen cutting. It can take on tasks usually done with a yanagi (fish slicer) or an usuba (vegetable knife), as well as many done with a gyuto (chef's knife).

The blade has a VG-10 Japanese stainless steel core clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel. It is precision forged and nitrogen cooled. The cladding gives strength, durability and stain resistance. The blade is tapered to reduce surface resistance when cutting.

The double bevel edge is sharpened and polished by hand in three stages using the traditional Honbazuke method. It is finished to a mirror polish at 15 degrees per side. The blade can rock and chop. The olive wood handle has an ergonomic shape and is balanced to encourage a pinch grip.

Questions and answers

Is a kiritsuke good for everyday kitchen prep?
Yes. The long, straight edge push-cuts vegetables and slices protein cleanly, and the double bevel lets it do most of what a gyuto does. It is less suited to rocking through herbs or chopping through bone.
What steel is the blade?
A VG-10 stainless core clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel, hardened to roughly 60 HRC. That gives good edge retention with reasonable stain resistance.
How should I care for it?
Hand wash and dry it right after use, and avoid the dishwasher. Use a wood or soft plastic board, keep it away from frozen food and bone, and hone lightly to maintain the 15-degree edge.
Is it heavy?
No. It weighs about 220 g, light for an 8-inch blade, which makes long prep sessions easier on the wrist.
What is in the box?
The knife comes in a branded gift box, which makes it presentable as a gift.
Who is it not for?
Cooks who rock-chop heavily, cut through bone or frozen food, or want a dishwasher-safe knife should look at a heavier Western-style chef's knife.
