Its tall blade profile provides a generous working surface and good knuckle clearance, while the rounded tip orients the knife toward push cutting rather than rocking. At 170 mm, the format stays compact and easy to handle daily without giving up useful length on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/lexique#tsuchime\"\u003etsuchime\u003c\/a\u003e finish covers the blade face with irregular hammer marks. These small indentations create air pockets between the blade and the food, reducing sticking during cuts.

Its wa shape follows the tradition of partial-tang handles, lightweight and blade-forward in balance. The overall feel keeps the weight toward the blade, which suits clean, repetitive cuts across a range of ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse and dry after each use.
