About this range

First Impressions

The name sunaarashi translates to "sandstorm" and you can certainly see why this collection has been been given the name with the detailed kurozome damascus pattern swirling across what is a well finished and lightweight laser profile blade.

Beauty

We can't help but stare at this knife. It's stunning from a distance on a rack or stand but when you really look closely the polished mirror kurozome (etched) damascus finish on the cladding that runs down to the dark VG10 core steel is spectacular. 

There's a lot of depth and detail to it and if you're after a knife with an instant wow factor then you're in for a treat.

In Hand

There's a refined feel to this knife in hand, a lot of care and attention has been paid to the finish and it's smoothly rounded along the full length of the spine and around the heel so it's very comfortable and well finished.

We've paired the blade with a classic octagonal teak wa handle.

Durability

Treated to around 59-60HRC, the VG10 core is at the lower end of what we'd typically see from Japanese knives but this offers a little more robustness and is more forgiving meaning you don't need to stress too much about chipping (assuming you're still cutting with care of course!). 

It'll still take an edge quickly and easily and is a solid and common steel choice for many knives for this reason.

Ease of Care

Follow our normal care instructions and this is a knife that will serve you well for many years as it's a stainless core clad in stainless steel so there's not too much to worry about here.

Our Verdict

Obviously the initial draw here is the stunning visual appeal of this knife. It's got looks to turn heads in any kitchen, subtle but with a lot of detail and that dark edge is just superb. 

Look a little further though and it's a well made and finished lightweight laser that's easy to sharpen and care for and so if you're looking for a thinner knife this is one that ticks a lot of boxes.

Range Specifications

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.

Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
