About this product

270 mm gyuto knife with a molybdenum-vanadium stainless-steel blade, black reinforced-wood handle and stainless-steel bolster. Made in Japan.

The 270 mm blade gives the TU-9006 the greatest reach of the three stocked Tsunouma gyuto sizes. Use its longer edge for generous slicing strokes and larger ingredients, with enough clear board space to work safely.

At 405 mm overall and 240 g, this model is longer and heavier than the matching 210 and 240 mm gyuto knives. Choose the TU-9004 or TU-9005 if a shorter knife better suits your station or handling preference.

Care: Hand wash, rinse and dry promptly. Avoid soaking and protect the edge during storage.

Product Overview

The Shimomura Tsunouma TU-9006 is a 270 mm gyuto for preparation that benefits from a longer cutting edge. Its broad chef’s-knife profile supports slicing and chopping vegetables, boneless meat and fish.

The molybdenum-vanadium stainless-steel blade is hand-finished with water-stone sharpening. A black reinforced laminated-wood handle and stainless-steel bolster complete the Western-style construction. The knife measures 405 mm overall and weighs 240 g.

Stainless steel with a reinforced-wood grip

Molybdenum and vanadium are added to the stainless blade steel, and the edge is finished by hand with water stones. The silver blade meets a dark laminated-wood handle through a stainless-steel bolster.

The shaped grip is secured by three visible rivets. Its black-and-silver finish coordinates with the other Tsunouma 9000 knives while retaining the blade shape chosen for this task.

Care for the edge and handle

Hand wash after use with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then rinse and dry the blade, bolster and handle promptly. Avoid soaking the wooden grip or leaving the knife wet in a sink; use a dishwasher only when the product is expressly marked as dishwasher-safe.

Work on a suitable cutting board and protect the edge during storage. Do not force or twist the blade through frozen food or hard bones. When the edge needs restoring, use a whetstone or a professional sharpening service suitable for the knife’s original edge geometry.
