More Reach. Traditional Feel.

The 240mm blade delivers additional cutting leverage - covering the full length of large proteins and vegetables in fewer strokes. The oval magnolia Wa handle is lighter than a Western pakkawood handle, shifting the balance point forward toward the blade for a more blade-forward feel preferred by Japanese-trained cooks. G3 Ginsan steel is made by Hitachi Metals - a stainless steel with the fine grain structure, edge formation, and sharpening feel of classic white carbon steel. The nashiji pear-skin finish reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the flat. Made in Tosa, Japan by Tsunehisa.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash and dry - dishwasher not recommended
• Keep the magnolia handle dry - do not soak
• Sharpen on Japanese water stones - sharpens easily like carbon steel
• Hone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
