270mm Kiritsuke Slicer in multi-layer Damascus with core of VG-10 from Tawa in Osaka

One of our good partners in Japan, Tower Knives in Osaka, manufactures this series of knives, where the blade is forged beautifully in several layers of stainless steel around a hard core of the well-known VG-10.

What makes these knives very special, however, is not the appearance, but the fact that they are slightly higher than what similar knives would typically be, at the same time as they are extremely thin. In addition, the Tawa knives are sharpened all the way from the back down towards the egg at a very fine angle, which is why they cut impressively well.

The slicer is used to cut items with proteins, such as meat, chicken and fish. The long blade means that you do not need to saw through the item you are cutting, but can do it in one long stroke, and because the blade is narrow, it creates less friction, so that you protect the proteins in the raw material as much as possible.
