Tsunehisa AS Kuro Tsuchime Kiritsuke 210mm

Overview The Tsunehisa AS Kuro Tsuchime Kiritsuke 210 mm is a fantastic value from Tosa, Japan. Its Aogami Super core, protected by stainless cladding, delivers razor-sharp performance, impressive edge retention (~63 HRC), and easy maintenance. A hammered tsuchime texture paired with a rustic kurouchi finish reduces food sticking while complimenting traditional Japanese aesthetics. The oval rosewood handle with black pakkawood ferrule provides a confident, ergonomic grip that stays comfortable through long prep sessions. Stainless Cladding over Aogami Super remains one of our favorite combinations, and this is an excellent value point. We do recommend adding our professional sharpening service, so it arrives screaming sharp with a proper bevel. Common Questions Q: Is this knife suitable for home cooks? A: Absolutely. The 210 mm length offers everyday versatility, and the balanced double-bevel edge means you don’t need professional sharpening skills to keep it performing at its best. Q:
