Features of This Knife

The high carbon content allows the blade to maintain its sharpness, making it ideal for slicing tougher ingredients.
Tsuchime & Wave Patterns: The combination of hammered (Tsuchime) and wave patterns reduces food sticking and enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal.
Shitan Octagonal Handle: Crafted with Shitan rosewood, the octagonal handle offers an ergonomic grip, blending traditional Japanese elegance with comfort.
Brand Stamp: The blade is engraved with the mark of Minamoto no Hisahide, ensuring authenticity and celebrating the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship.

After each use, wash the knife gently, wipe it with a cloth, and ensure it is completely dry.

Maintain blade sharpness by sharpening approximately every 10 days or as needed for optimal performance.

Use only for food preparation, avoiding non-food tasks.
Whenever possible, use a wooden cutting board to reduce wear on the blade.
