T ZA18 45 Layer Brown Petty 135mm

Tsune 45 layer Damascus knives seamlessly combine traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Handcrafted by Suzuki San in Tosa Yamada, these knives feature a ZA18 steel core that guarantees exceptional durability. The meticulous arrangement of 45 layers of Damascus steel not only creates a captivating visual design but also enhances their overall performance. The knives’ slim and sleek profile not only simplifies maintenance but also facilitates easy sharpening on a whetstone. Capable of handling both robust tasks and delicate precision cuts, these knives effortlessly embody strength and finesse in every use. Despite their high quality, Tsune knives remain budget-friendly, making culinary excellence accessible to a wider audience. They stand as a testament to the progress of Japanese craftsmanship, enriching the culinary experience of those privileged to use them. The handle is a Pakkawood (laminated hard wood with silicon injection) which is durable and resistant to water damage

Maintenance:

• Avoid chopping hard ingredients such as bones, frozen food, or any rock-solid items.
• Using soap/washing up liquid to clean and wipe with a sponge. Not dishwasher safe.
• These knives are very easy to sharpen on an M150 Water Wheel, fine diamond steel, and up to 4000 or below grit whetstone (available in the Sharpening accessories section).

Utility:

The shape is basically a small Sujihiki or slicing knife. As the name suggests it is a multi-function knife used for the preparation of vegetables and precise cutting of meat and fish. The slim profile presents a smaller area to fatty, oily, and starchy foods where a wider blade would create a stronger vacuum and ‘stick’ more to the food.

Function – Multipurpose for preparing all food groups. A favourite knife of many home cooks who are uncomfortable with large blades.

Normal length – 150mm

Tip: This knife is also used for carving petite roasts, filleting and skinning fish as well as careful dissection of poultry without hitting bones. An extremely useful size for any kitchen.
