The K-tip profile pairs a standard gyuto body with an angled kiritsuke-style point and flatter edge, optimising the blade for push-cutting, long slicing strokes, and detailed tip work such as scoring or picking. Produced by Aoki Hamono in Sakai, this knife represents a collaborative manufacturing approach delivering consistent quality within the 33 Layers VG10 Damascus Tsuchime line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VG10 core measures 59-61 HRC and contains 15% chromium for stain resistance, offering balanced performance that is easy to sharpen and maintain. Sanmai stainless Damascus construction ensures the blade remains fully stainless and suitable for household care without reactive maintenance requirements. The tsuchime hammered finish provides visual texture across the 33-layer cladding. This model sits on the thicker side of chef's knife profiles, contributing to its durable build and fit for non-professional users. The double-bevel geometry supports general-purpose kitchen tasks while rewarding deliberate, tip-led cutting techniques distinct from single-bevel kiritsuke knives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakai Takayuki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31532931022985,"sku":"ST_VG10DA_KTIPGY190","price":279.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_6450.jpg?v=1780273631"},{"product_id":"tetsujin-blue-2-tanryusen-k-tip-gyuto-180-210-240mm","title":"Tetsujin Blue 2 Tanryusen K-tip Gyuto 180\/210\/240 mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eK\u0026amp;S is pleased to bring the highly regarded Tetsujin (鉄人作) brand to our customers. More excitingly, we are also among the first resellers to introduce you the Tanryusen (鍛流線) Blue 2 line.

The PM process produce a very fine grain for the steel, so it gets sharper than the traditional non-PM steel; the added Vanadium and Molybdenum give the steel excellent wear-resistance and toughness, means it is less likely to chip and keeps the edge much longer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe wear-resistance property of PM steel can sometimes be a double-sword for kitchen knives. That is, if the blade is made of mono-steel construction (non-cladded, usually done by stock removal), the excellent wear-resistance property means the bevel is notoriously hard to thin and refinish (generally speaking all the monosteel knives are more or less like so, but PM steel is that much harder).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eNow the beauty of sanmai construction kicks in. Sanmai literally means “three pieces”: a thin layer of core steel is sandwiched between two layers of soft iron or stainless steel. Doing so not only allows the knife to cut as good as a monosteel knife (core steel doing the work), but more importantly, enables the knife to be thinned with ease (removing the soft cladding rather than a hard steel with hardness over HRC 60). In the case of Syousin Suminagashi line, the soft cladding is even hand forged by Kamo-san with an eye catching Damascus pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Shiro Kamo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"458\" width=\"687\" alt=\"shiro-kamo-forging-syousin-suminagashi.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn10.bigcommerce.com\/s-bov50\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/shiro-kamo-forging-syousin-suminagashi.jpg\" title=\"shiro-kamo-forging-syousin-suminagashi.jpg\" class=\"__mce_add_custom__\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eFig: Master Shiro Kamo forging a Syousin Suminagashi blade at the Takefu Knife Village, Echizen, Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eShiro Kamo, while little known overseas, is a well regarded knife smith in Japan.
