Discover the extraordinary Tosa Tsukasa knives, which are handmade in the Tosa region on the picturesque island of Shikoku, Japan. These rustic knives are distinguished by their unusual blade profile and gently tapered blade. Not only are they extremely sturdy, allowing them to be used for virtually any cutting task, but they are also elegant and perfect for precision cutting of small items.

The Tosa Tsukasa Knife series is made of Shirogami #1 steel, considered the purest type of carbon steel. One of its most important advantages is the ability to obtain a blade that can be sharpened to an exceptionally sharp edge. The process of sharpening the knife yourself is simple and satisfying.

The knife has a distinctive Kurouchi finish, which not only gives it 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 fiber, which can lead to the formation of a beautiful patina. That is why proper knife care is so important.

Tosa Tsukasa Kurouchi knives are an excellent choice for those who are looking for the sharpest cutting tool and are willing to spend a moment on its maintenance. The knife is already quite sharp when you take it out of the box, but the real magic happens when you sharpen it yourself on stones.

Remember that these knives are not stainless, so it is important to dry them thoroughly after each use to preserve their exceptional quality for many years. Discover the Tosa Tsukasa Nakiri Knife and experience new levels of precision in the kitchen.
