Overview
Tsunehisa, originating from Tosa, curates knives from skilled blacksmiths across multiple regions of Japan. The brand’s dedication to outstanding value is evident in its meticulously handmade fit and finish. This Santoku knife features a core steel of Aogami Super (Blue Super) clad in stainless steel, ensuring exceptional edge retention with easier maintenance. The distinctive hammered (tsuchime) kurouchi finish helps reduce food sticking by creating small air pockets, resulting in a smoother, more efficient cutting experience. With an HRC of around 63, this blade balances impressive hardness with just the right amount of toughness to prevent undue brittleness.
Common Questions
Q: Is this knife suitable for home cooks?
A: Absolutely! The Santoku’s shorter length and balanced design make it comfortable for beginners and seasoned home cooks alike. Its double bevel edge means it’s straightforward to use and maintain.
Q: How do I care for a high carbon steel edge?
A: Although the blade is clad in stainless steel, the core is high carbon. Wipe it dry after each use, avoid prolonged contact with acidic foods, and store it properly to prevent rust or discoloration.
Q: Why is the hammered (tsuchime) finish helpful?
A: The hammered texture forms tiny air pockets between the blade and the food, minimizing sticking and streamlining your prep work.
