Tsunehisa nashiji SLD gyuto 240mm and petty 140mm knife set

The Tsunehisa nashiji SLD knife set is a Japanese knife duo consisting of a 240mm gyuto and a 140mm petty knife. Each blade is forged with an SLD semi-stainless steel core, known for its edge retention and toughness. The knives showcase a textured nashiji finish and stainless cladding. This stainless cladding means the core steel is sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel, making the knives easier to maintain.

This set covers a range of kitchen duties. The versatile gyuto handles general cutting tasks, from slicing meats to chopping vegetables. For detailed work like peeling or trimming, the petty knife steps in. With proper care, this duo can last for years, making them a smart long-term investment. Despite their quality, these knives are reasonably priced, allowing home cooks and professionals to enjoy well-crafted Japanese knives without overspending. Whether you're new to Japanese knives or looking to expand your collection, this set offers a good balance of performance and value.
