Tsunehisa Knives

Tsunehisa Knives are crafted in Tosa, Japan, by a skilled collective of artisans under the guidance of Takayuki Shibata—known as Shibata-san—a visionary cutler who founded the brand to bring high-quality Japanese blades to the world.
Operating from a mid-sized factory in this historic knife-making region, Tsunehisa offers a diverse range of knives forged with premium steels like Aogami Super, VG-10, and Ginsan, often featuring stunning finishes such as kurouchi or Damascus. Shibata-san, a master sharpener with a background in carpentry and a passion for culinary tools, curates each line to balance exceptional performance with affordability, making them a favorite among cooks at every level of expertise. From gyutos to santokus, every Tsunehisa blade reflects his collective's commitment to bringing traditional craftsmanship to any kitchen where good food is made.

High-performance kitchen cutlery delivers its best results only when properly maintained. Check out our knife sharpening services for home cooks and professionals alike or our strops and stones section for all of your at home sharpening tools.
