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 Sujihiki is meant for all things slicing. The long slender blade allows the user to perform nice long strokes and avoid sawing through proteins which leads to perfect, thin slices and no more tearing. Carving roasts, slicing brisket, thinly slicing fish are all within its grasp.

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.
