Anryu Santoku Tsutchime 17 cm Aogami #2 Rosewood

Anryu Santoku Tsuchime 17 cm Aogami #2 is a classic Japanese Santoku knife, combining excellent sharpness, cutting precision, and unique design. Thanks to its versatile construction and 17 cm blade length, it will work well in any kitchen, allowing you to efficiently cut meat, vegetables, and fish. This traditional tool was made by the talented master blacksmith Takumi Ikeda, who took over the workshop from the famous Katsushige Anryu and continues his craft by creating top-class knives.

At the heart of this knife is Aogami #2 carbon steel, known for its exceptional sharpness and ability to maintain its cutting edge for a long time. The core reaches a hardness of 63 HRC, which ensures extremely precise cutting and easy re-sharpening. To increase durability and ease of maintenance, the knife has been coated with two layers of stainless steel, which protect the blade from external factors. An additional advantage is the traditional Tsuchime finish – an impressive hammering of the blade surface, which not only gives it a unique look, but also reduces the sticking of products during cutting.

High quality workmanship goes hand in hand with ease of use. The oval handle made of rosewood and the Pakka wood ferrule guarantee a stable grip and comfort even during long periods of use. The low weight – 75 g – makes the knife extremely maneuverable, allowing for smooth and precise movements.

Anryu Santoku Tsuchime 17 cm Aogami #2 is an excellent choice for cooking enthusiasts and professionals who appreciate traditional Japanese craftsmanship and the highest quality of workmanship. Over time, the Aogami #2 core acquires a characteristic patina, which not only gives it a unique appearance, but also enhances its corrosion protection. This knife will become an indispensable tool in any kitchen.
