Ishizuchi Blue Super Steel Kurohada Tsuchime Santoku Knife Rosewood Handle

Sale price$239.00

"Kurohada" translates to "black skin," referring to the dark, textured appearance of the blade's surface. This distinctive texture is achieved through the Tsuchime technique, where the blade is hammered to create small, irregular dimples on its surface. These dimples enhance the knife's aesthetic appeal and serve a practical purpose by reducing food adhesion to the blade, making slicing and chopping more efficient.

"Santoku" in Japanese means: "can do three things well". Able to easily cut through meat, fish, and vegetables, this Santoku Knife is the quintessential kitchen knife.

The Kurohada Tsuchime Santoku Knife - a true culinary gem, crafted from Aogami Blue Steel and with a stunning Rosewood handle, is renowned for its remarkable durability and sharpness.
