The Tsunehisa G3 Difference

Tsunehisa is one of Tosa's most respected knife makers - known for outstanding value and the use of top-quality steel. Ginsan (Silver 3) is a fine-grained high-carbon stainless steel made by Hitachi Metals. It is a very similar alloy to white steel in terms of edge formation and sharpness - it takes a keen, refined edge and is easy to sharpen on a whetstone - but with the rust resistance of stainless. The nashiji (pear-skin) finish gives the blade a subtle, textured appearance that reduces drag and hides minor scratches. The brown pakkawood handle with bolster is comfortable in a pinch grip and adds a premium feel. Made in Tosa, Japan.
