{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_cJcN6g-o","product_name":"Tsunehisa AUS-10 Damascus Gyuto 210mm Western Handle","category":"Gyuto Knife","description":"Overview\nThe Tsunehisa AUS-10 Damascus Gyuto 210mm with a dark brown western pakka wood handle is a stainless Japanese chef’s knife built for “do-it-all” prep—vegetables, proteins, herbs, and everyday dinner service. AUS-10 is a tough, easy-to-live-with stainless steel that sharpens cleanly and holds a refined edge, while the Damascus cladding adds eye-catching pattern and a smooth glide through food.\nIf you want one knife that feels familiar in the hand (western full-tang, triple-rivet feel) but cuts with Japanese precision, this 210mm gyuto is the sweet spot—long enough for efficient slicing, still compact enough for home boards.\nPerformance &amp; Use\nThis gyuto is best used with light, controlled technique: let the edge do the work. It excels at push cuts, pull slices, and rocking through herbs. Because it’s a thin, performance-focused blade, avoid twisting in cuts and skip bones, frozen foods, and hard squash stems.\nFor the best long-term results, pair it with a knife-friendly cutting surface like a Hasegawa Pro Cutting Board to reduce edge wear and keep the knife feeling “fresh” longer.\nCare &amp; Maintenance\nHand wash, dry immediately, and store safely (magnet, guard, or roll). For extra protection—especially in humid kitchens—wipe on a thin coat of 100% pure Tsubaki (camellia) oil.\nTo keep the edge performing between stones, a few light passes on a quality strop makes a big difference—try our Tokushu Knife leather strop. And if you want that “next level” sharpness without the learning curve, you can add our knife sharpening service to your order.\nCommon Questions\nQ: Is this knife suitable for home cooks?\nA: Yes. A 210mm gyuto is one of the easiest Japanese knife sizes to live with, and AUS-10 stainless is forgiving: great edge, solid toughness, and low stress maintenance compared to reactive carbon steel.\nQ: What’s the benefit of AUS-10 compared to “basic” stainless knives?\nA: AUS-10 typically takes a finer, sharper edge and keeps it longer than entry-level s","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/tsunehisa-gyuto-aus-10-damascus-210mm-02_e6cf9af2-fcbb-4317-8921-2fcab542400b.jpg?v=1780744430","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/tsunehisa-gyuto-aus-10-damascus-210mm-04_b6d34a85-05e3-4e6d-92b1-b48af02be96d.jpg?v=1780744429","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/tsunehisa-gyuto-aus-10-damascus-210mm-01.jpg?v=1780744431","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/tsunehisa-gyuto-aus-10-damascus-210mm-03_d7bd62f2-80a4-4355-9df2-eff639a057b9.jpg?v=1780744430"],"price":149,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:44:30.343Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_cJcN6g-o","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
