Nosyudo VG10 Damascus Forged Mirror Tsuchime Finish with Hon-Kasumi Edge Petty

Nosyudo Mirror Tsuchime-Finish VG10 Hon-Kasumi Damascus Series

From Seki City, Gifu Prefecture — Japan’s sacred sword-making capital — comes a masterwork from the renowned Nosyudo, who blend ancient samurai-era forging techniques with modern culinary demands to create a knife series that exudes the true spirit of the samurai.

This petty features a mirror-polished Tsuchime finish, forged using a traditional Mino-style folded Damascus technique with a VG10 core.

It is hon-kasumi polished, resulting in a strong, finely tapered edge ideal for precision work. The handle is crafted from Pakkawood, known for its antimicrobial properties and natural feel, and comes paired with a sleek black lacquered magnolia wood Saya.

The overall design is finished in a bold and mysterious all-black aesthetic, reflecting the stoic elegance of the samurai tradition. The blade bears a hand-engraved signature by a certified Japanese sword smith — a mark of authenticity and master craftsmanship.

Blade Specifications:

• Core Steel: VG-10 Stainless Steel
• Hardness: HRC 61 (approx. 720 HV)
• Saya: Black Lacquered Magnolia Wood
• hand-engraved signature by Japanese sword smiths
