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

The hammered finish combined with unpolished steel makes each blade unique. The subtle texture is understated yet refined, pairing beautifully with the classic cherrywood handle. Upon closer inspection, the finely detailed cutting edge and hammer dimples stand out, revealing the knife’s craftsmanship. Well balanced and easy to control, the half-tang cherrywood handle ensures comfort during extended use and versatility across a wide range of kitchen tasks.

Featuring stainless cladding with an Aogami Super (Super Blue) steel core, this knife delivers excellent edge retention while remaining relatively easy to maintain and sharpen. The reactive carbon steel cutting edge will naturally develop a beautiful patina through contact with food and moisture. With proper care, it is a durable, reliable knife that performs consistently over time.
