The Tsunami 8-inch Chef's Knife is a Japanese VG10 Damascus steel knife with a blue resin burl wood handle. The blade is curved for smooth rocking cuts and has a pointed tip for precise trimming. It chops vegetables, slices boneless meats, and minces herbs.
The blade has a VG10 steel core with 33 layers of Damascus steel on each side, for 67 layers in total. This forms a flowing pattern on the blade. It is rated at 62 HRC for hardness and edge retention.
The handle is made of hand-selected burl wood stabilized with a blue resin blend, then shaped and polished. It resists moisture and wear. Its rounded contours give a firm grip. The wood grain and resin vary, so each handle looks different.
