About this product

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

The compact honesuki shape is intended for separating and trimming meat around joints. Guide the tip deliberately along the work rather than using the knife as a cleaver; avoid chopping through hard bones or twisting the edge.

The TU-9010 measures 270 mm overall, weighs 170 g and has a 3.0 mm blade thickness. It is a specialist addition to a preparation kit, while a santoku or gyuto remains the broader choice for general chopping and slicing.

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

Product Overview

The Shimomura Tsunouma TU-9010 is a 145 mm honesuki for boning and trimming work. Its angular blade and pointed tip provide a specialist profile alongside the broader santoku and gyuto knives in the range.

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 270 mm overall and weighs 170 g.

Shimomura Tsunouma TU-9010 145 mm honesuki with its black riveted handle

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.
