What does Tsuchime knives mean and how are they different?

In the context of knife making, Tsuchime refers to a traditional Japanese technique where the surface of a knife blade is hammered to create a unique texture on its surface. This process involves treating the blade with a special hammer called “tsuchi”, which creates small indentations on its surface.

Japanese knives - why is it worth choosing them?

The best kitchen knives are believed to be made in Japan. There are two areas here, known for their centuries-old traditions of metalworking and toolmaking: Seki and Tsubame-Sanjo. Japanese knives are an excellent choice for those who value precision and sharpness in their kitchen knives. They are lighter, thinner and more durable than Western-style knives, but they require more care and maintenance to keep them in good condition.
