22 layers on each side of the blade. 11 layers of nickel with 6 layers of SUS410 and 5 layers of J1 stainless steel.

Surface of the blade has Tsuchime pattern. The unique Japanese design creates dimpling that prevents food from sticking on the blades surface. The tsuchime pattern is created by hand hammering the layered metal, then tempering it with heat. Each of our Tsuchime knives have a unique hand hammered pattern.
