History and curiosity
Tsunehisa is a brand, like many others in Japan, which takes care of marketing creations from several blacksmiths, based in different cities, such as Sakai, Tosa or Seki for example.
Each city has its own style in the creation of kitchen knives, and also specializes in the use of certain steels, more than others.
Tosa’s craftsmen are recognized for having an excellent mastery in the forging of Ginsan and AUS10 steels. At Seki are highly recognized for the incredible work done on VG10 steel blades. Sakai to specialize in single bevel blade forging.
This blade that we offer today is part of the “Tsuchime Damascus” series, literally hammered damascus steel.
The core is made of AUS10 steel, a steel resistant to oxidation, with performances very similar to the much better known VG10 steel. There is a very good retention of the wire, ability to obtain an excellent cutting edge and a certain ease of sharpening.
The handle
The handle is made of stabilized and dyed maple wood, brass and blackash burl spacers, boxelder burl ferrule.
