The Tsunehisa Difference

Tsunehisa is one of Tosa's most respected knife producers, known for delivering top-quality steel at outstanding value. G3 (Ginsan, or Silver #3) is a fine-grained high-carbon stainless steel made by Hitachi Metals - it behaves like carbon steel in terms of edge formation and ease of sharpening, while offering the corrosion resistance of stainless. At 60 HRC it holds a keen working edge through daily prep while remaining practical to maintain on Japanese water stones. The Bunka's reverse-tanto tip makes it ideal for precision point work as well as everyday chopping and slicing.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing
