Tamahagane Tsubame Japanese Kitchen Knives
Tamahagane Tsubame knives combine Japanese knife-making tradition with modern materials and precision manufacturing. Made in Japan by Kataoka & Co., the Tsubame series is designed for cooks who value sharpness, control and reliable performance in the kitchen. Its distinctive Japanese design, three-layer blade construction and carefully selected materials make it a versatile collection for both professional and home kitchens.
Japanese knives with a VG-5 steel core
One of the defining features of the Tamahagane Tsubame series is its three-layer blade construction. The core of the blade is made from Japanese VG-5 stainless steel, a high-quality steel selected for its ability to achieve a sharp and precise edge. The core is protected by outer layers of SUS-410 stainless steel, creating a durable blade construction designed for regular kitchen use.
The blades reach a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, allowing the knives to maintain a fine, precise cutting edge while offering the durability expected from a Japanese kitchen knife. This combination of materials provides a balance between sharpness, edge retention and everyday practicality.
Distinctive Tsubame design
The Tsubame collection combines technical performance with a distinctive Japanese aesthetic. Several models feature a characteristic hammered finish, which gives the blade its recognisable Tsubame appearance while adding an attractive visual detail to the knife.
Depending on the model, the series includes ergonomic handles designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip during food preparation. Micarta handles are used on selected knives, combining durability with a refined appearance suitable for demanding kitchen environments.
A versatile collection of Japanese kitchen knives
The Tamahagane Tsubame range includes different types and sizes of Japanese kitchen knives, making it possible to choose the right blade for different culinary tasks. Chef's knives and Santoku knives are suitable for everyday preparation, while smaller knives are ideal for peeling, trimming and more precise cutting work.
