Tsunehisa AS Santoku (universal knife), 180 mm
Tsunehisa Aogami Super Santoku
Blade of very special non-rustproof Japanese Aogami Super steel that Sanmai is forged with two layers of rust-resistant steel. Aogami super steel is praised by many knife lovers for its extreme tool life (sharpness retention). Despite the extreme hardness, this knife is less susceptible to "chipping" than other Aogami or Shirogami steels.
This specific line of Tsunehisa knives are made in the same smithy as the Akifusa and Haruyuki knives, the sharpness and quality are guaranteed.
The blade is thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings which makes sharpening very easy. A Santoku is suitable for all jobs. The knife is designed to cut both fish, meat and vegetables and is a hybrid form between a chef's knife and a nakiri (greeting knife).
