Discover the extraordinary Tosa Tsukasa series of knives, which are hand-forged in the Tosa region of Shikoku Island, Japan. These rustic knives are distinguished by their unique blade profile and slightly narrower blade, which makes them not only extremely sturdy and versatile in use, but also elegant and perfect for precise cutting of small products.

The Tosa Tsukasa knife series is made of Shirogami #1 steel, considered the purest type of carbon steel. One of the main advantages of Shirogami is the ability to obtain an incredibly sharp blade that can be easily and effectively sharpened by yourself.

The knife has a distinctive Kurouchi finish, which not only adds character, but also protects the blade from rust. However, we recommend thoroughly cleaning and drying the knife after each use, as the entire blade is made of carbon steel, which can lead to the formation of a beautiful patina. That is why it is so important to take proper care of this knife.

Tosa Tsukasa Kurouchi knives are highly recommended for those who appreciate the sharpest blade and are willing to devote some attention to maintenance. The knife is already quite sharp when you take it out of the package, but its true potential will be revealed when you sharpen it yourself on stones.

Please note that these knives are not stainless, so it is recommended to dry them thoroughly after each use to keep them in perfect condition for years to come. Discover an irreplaceable kitchen helper that combines versatility, quality, and the tradition of Japanese craftsmanship.
