The Kanetsune Tsuchime Petty Knife is a Japanese-style paring/utility knife. It is the perfect tool in the hand for peeling and preparing fruits and vegetables, as well as beautifying dishes with elegant cuts and garnishes. It can also be used as a petite chef knife, which is ideal for smaller hands.
Kanetsune Seki have created this series using DSR-1K6 high carbon stainless steel. The blade finish , "Tsuchime", is a Japanese-style hammer finish and helps to release foods quickly from the blade while cutting, making the meal-prep process quicker and more efficient.
This manufacturer is located at Seki City, known to be the City of Blades. The underground method in Japanese sword-making called “Seki-den” which started some 800 years back has been handed down to this present day. One of Japan’s supreme master craftsmen, Kanetsune Seki was able to conserve this method and employ it in all of his knives.
