Tosa Tsukasa Kurouchi Santoku 13.5 cm Shirogami #1

The Tosa Tsukasa Santoku Japanese Knife is a multifunctional tool that has gained recognition among both professional chefs and home cooks. The blade of this knife is 135 mm long, making it ideal for a variety of tasks, such as chopping, cutting meat, fruit, or vegetables. Santoku kitchen knives have become an integral part of Japanese homes, and now, you can experience the exceptional quality and tradition of Tosa Tsukasa knives, hand-forged in the Tosa region of Shikoku Island, Japan.

The Tosa Tsukasa knife series is made of Shirogami #1 steel, considered the purest type of carbon steel. It is this steel that allows for a blade that can be sharpened to an extremely sharp edge. The process of sharpening the knife yourself is simple and enjoyable.

The knife has a distinctive Kurouchi finish, which not only adds character but also protects against rust. However, after each use, we recommend thoroughly cleaning and drying the knife, as the entire blade is made of carbon steel, which can result in patina formation.

Tosa Tsukasa Kurouchi knives are an excellent choice for those who value the sharpest blade and are willing to devote some attention to maintenance.

Please note that these knives are not stainless, so it is recommended to dry them thoroughly and care for them properly after each use. Discover the unmatched quality of Tosa Tsukasa knives, and experience the tradition of Japanese blacksmithing in your kitchen.
