FAQs
Is this knife dishwasher safe?
No, you must hand-wash this knife to maintain the integrity of the VG-10 steel and the Micarta handle.
What is the Rockwell hardness of this blade?
The blade has a Rockwell hardness rating of 60 degrees.
What material is the handle made from?
The handle is made from Micarta, which is known for its durability, moisture resistance, and excellent grip.
Can I use this for chopping vegetables?
While it can cut vegetables, it is specifically optimized for carving and slicing meats to maintain the edge quality.
How should I sharpen this knife?
Due to its high hardness, it is recommended to use water stones or professional sharpening services rather than pull-through sharpeners.
What is the length of the blade?
The blade length is 19.8cm, which is equivalent to 8 inches.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull after minimal use
Ensure you are using a wooden or plastic cutting board. Glass or stone surfaces will dull high-hardness blades instantly.
Handle feeling slippery
Clean the handle with a mild degreaser and ensure it is fully dried after each use to maintain the grip of the Micarta material.
Small nicks appearing on the edge
Avoid using the knife to cut through bones, frozen foods, or prying open packages. Use a designated heavy-duty cleaver for those tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Tsuki carving knife, never place it in the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh chemicals can damage both the Micarta handle and the precision edge. Always wash the knife by hand with warm, soapy water immediately after use and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing. We recommend using a knife block or magnetic strip for storage to prevent the blade from knocking against other metal tools. Use only ceramic or diamond honing rods for maintenance, and have the blade professionally sharpened to maintain its factory 60 Rockwell hardness profile.
