The Sasaki Masuta Japanese AUS-10 Stainless Steel Slicing Knife is a masterfully engineered kitchen tool crafted for those who demand excellence in both performance and design. Made from world-renowned 67-layer Japanese AUS-10 stainless steel, this 8-inch slicing knife boasts superior stain and corrosion resistance, as well as exceptional edge retention. The blade undergoes a rigorous, multi-step forging and heat-treatment process—including nitrogen cooling and tempering—resulting in a razor-sharp edge with over 62 Rockwell hardness. The full tang blade is hand-fitted to a non-porous, triple-riveted fiberglass handle, offering superior durability and perfect weight balance for comfortable handling. Sharpened to a fine 10°–15° angle per side, this slicing knife delivers clean, precise cuts through meats and fish with minimal effort. For added safety and convenience, it includes a locking sheath that secures the blade when not in use.
