The 240mm gyuto profile gives you extra blade length for smooth slicing, efficient prep, and confident board work, while the AUS-10 stainless core offers a practical balance of sharpness, toughness, and edge retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nawame finish gives the blade a distinctive patterned look with stainless cladding for low-maintenance daily use. Paired with an octagonal burnt oak handle, this knife feels traditional, lightweight, and controlled in hand. It is a strong fit for slicing proteins, cutting vegetables, mincing herbs, and handling larger prep tasks where a 210mm gyuto may feel a little short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best performance, wash by hand, dry immediately, and avoid frozen foods, bones, twisting cuts, or glass cutting boards. To keep the edge performing well, use a knife-friendly board such as a Hasegawa Pro Cutting Board and maintain the edge with gentle stropping on the Tokushu Knife leather strop between sharpenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e Is the Tsunehisa AUS-10 Nawame Gyuto 240mm good for home cooks?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.

AUS-10 is stainless and low maintenance, but it should still not be left wet or put in the dishwasher.
