240mm Tsunehisa Swedish Steel Sujihiki Yo Handle
240mm Tsunehisa Swedish Steel Sujihiki Yo Handle
The Tsunehisa line of knives are hand-made in Tosa, Japan by the Hokiyama factory. This factory specializes in making knives for many different wholesalers who then stamp their own brand onto the knives. This results in price mark-ups. We prefer the factory stamp to keep the price as low as possible. Tsunehisa knives offer one of the best ways to get high-performance knives at the lowest possible price.
