Meet the Tsunehisa Washiji SLD – a line that nails the sweet spot between carbon-steel performance and low-fuss care. At its core is SLD steel (Hitachi’s semi-stainless champion), prized for holding a crazy-sharp edge like carbon steel but with way better rust resistance. It’s tough too, resisting chips during heavy prep.

The star of the show? That striking "Washiji" finish. It’s not just pretty hammered texture – this cladding reduces food sticking while giving every knife rugged, artisan character. Think functional beauty with serious kitchen hustle.

Crafted across Japan’s finest workshops, Tsunehisa delivers this package at a sharp value. You get carbon-like sharpness without the paranoia, eye-catching looks with purpose, and SLD’s balanced toughness – all in one knife. Perfect if you want performance that endures and style that stands out, minus the high-maintenance life. 

Pros Cons
  • Budget friendly

Care Instruction
  1. Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
  2. Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
  3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
  4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
  5. It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
  6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.
