Key Features

  • Tsuchime (Hammered) Finish: The beautiful hand-hammered texture creates small air pockets between the blade and the food, significantly reducing drag and preventing ingredients from sticking.
  • High-Performance Steel: The blade is forged from high-carbon stainless steel, providing a razor-sharp edge with excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Durable Laminated Handle: The ergonomic, Western-style handle is crafted from strengthened laminated wood, offering a comfortable, secure grip and excellent water resistance.

Use & Care
  • Knife care guide: Cleaning, sharpening and storing your Japanese knives.
  • Cutting board guide: Caring for your Japanese rubber cutting board.
  • Knives: Hand wash and dry immediately after use — never the dishwasher. It's the single biggest thing you can do for the blade and handle.
  • Sharpening: A whetstone keeps Japanese knives at their best — honing rods designed for Western knives can be too harsh for harder Japanese steel.
  • Storage: Store knives in a block, on a magnetic strip or with blade guards — loose in a drawer damages the edge.
Good to Know
  • Choosing a Hasegawa board: Which board suits your kitchen — our guide cuts through the confusion.
  • Gentle on blades: Japanese rubber boards are kind to knife edges — one reason chefs pair them with Japanese knives.
