Tsunehisa knives are known for their excellent fit and finish, and this knife delivers impressive sharpness straight out of the box. With light honing, the edge can be further refined to reveal its full cutting potential. Nimble, lightweight, and responsive, it is a joy to use for both professional and home cooks.

The hammered finish and unpolished steel make each blade unique. The understated texture offers a subtle, refined appearance that pairs beautifully with the classic cherrywood handle. On closer inspection, the finely detailed cutting edge and hammer dimples stand out, highlighting the knife’s craftsmanship. Light, well-balanced, and comfortable in hand, the half-tang cherrywood handle makes this knife easy to control and suitable for a wide range of kitchen tasks.

The blade features stainless cladding with an Aogami Super (Super Blue) steel core, providing excellent edge retention while remaining relatively easy to maintain and sharpen. The reactive carbon steel edge will gradually develop a beautiful natural patina through contact with food and moisture. With proper care, this knife will continue to perform consistently over time.
