The Tsunehisa nashiji SLD gyuto 240mm is a handcrafted Japanese knife from the Tosa region. Made under the Tsunehisa brand by Takayuki Shibata, it's part of a series known for high performance and value. The blade's core is SLD steel (SKD11), a semi-stainless material that balances edge retention and toughness. Its nashiji (pear skin) finish gives the knife a rustic, raw look. Suitable for both culinary beginners and professionals.
This gyuto is designed for versatile use in the kitchen. It excels at slicing, dicing, and chopping a wide range of ingredients, from vegetables to meats. The 240mm blade length provides plenty of cutting edge for most kitchen tasks.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
