Ittetsu Tsuchime

Ittetsu is the shop's house brand and we've been working for a long time to find high performing, affordable knives to offer our customers. For those of you who want to get into Japanese cutlery but don't want to spend too much we introduce the Tsuchime line from Ittetsu Hamono! These are made for us in a factory setting in Seki city, Gifu prefecture, Japan – a region renowned for its Cutlery manufacturing which dates back centuries. These knives are great for home cooks and beginner chefs as they are easy to maintain being made from Stainless steel, are super duper sharp right out of the box and have a more familiar western style handle.

The Knife

The Nakiri is designed as a vegetable knife, its flat profile and tall blade make using an up and down, push and pull chopping motion very easy and its large surface area makes it a great scoop. Great for vegetarians and vegans or anyone who finds themselves chopping up large amounts of vegetables. 

Knife Care (Stainless Steel)

• Although this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.
• NO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.
• Wash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Ensure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.
• Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.
