Tsunehisa is a Japanese company that brings together a small team of highly skilled cutlery experts, drawing on know-how passed down through traditional forging techniques used by blacksmiths of yesteryear.
The Japanese stainless steel kitchen knife
This yanagiba knife features an AUS-8 Japanese stainless steel blade, an alloy enriched with carbon and tungsten to increase rigidity and deliver a sharper edge. With a hardness of 59HRC on the Rockwell scale, this blade guarantees excellent cutting capacity over the long term. The steel also contains molybdenum and vanadium, elements that enhance several properties: vanadium increases elasticity to prevent breakage, while molybdenum protects it from corrosion, ensuring greater resistance to corrosion.
Thanks to AUS-8's hardness, the blade is easy to sharpen on a stone when required. With its asymmetrical cutting edge, designed for single-sided sharpening, this Japanese kitchen knife is ideal for right-handed users, enabling fine, precise cuts in food!
The polished blade is adorned with hand-engraved kanji, adding a touch of authenticity and timeless refinement!
Authentic oak wood handle
This Japanese kitchen knife is fitted with an oak wood handle, a material appreciated for its strength and durability, offering remarkable resistance to moisture, impact and temperature variations. Its golden hue forms an elegant contrast with the stainless steel blade!
The handle is octagonal in shape, in keeping with Japanese tradition, to adapt perfectly to the palm of the hand, offering optimum comfort and an excellent grip, even during long cooking sessions.
Finally, wood paste has been added to the junction between blade and handle to guarantee an ideal seal, preventing any infiltration of water or food residues.
To care for your Tsunehisa knife, wash only by hand with a soft sponge and non-abrasive soap, taking care not to wet the handle. Wipe dry immediately and thoroughly to remove all traces of moisture, and store in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher, or leave to soak in the sink.
