Tsunehisa translates to "Permanence", named after the idea that good knives will last you a lifetime. The brand prioritises functionality and affordability - resulting in a carefully curated selection of knives that anyone can appreciate. Tsunehisa's knives are made by a collective of blacksmiths and sharpeners across Sakai, Tosa and Seki. The brand was founded by Takayuki Shibata, world reknown for being an excellent knife sharpener and also the founder of Masakage, Koutetsu & Tinker. Over the years, Shibata-san has built close relations with many skilled blacksmiths across Japan, playing a huge role in growing the presence of Japanese kitchen knives internationally.

 

The Tsunehisa AUS8 Yanagiba is constructed from single piece stainless AUS-8 steel heat treated to 59hrc. Its a reliable, no-frills slicing knife, traditionally used for cutting sashimi. Since the entire knife is stainless steel, it makes it much easier to maintain and care for compared to traditional carbon steel yanagiba. This makes it a practical option for those working in restaurants where the fast paced environment makes it difficult to maintain carbon steel knives.
