Kaneshige Hamono - White #1 Tsuchime

Our in-depth range review

First Impressions

A thin overall profile, spine and finish standard the White #1 is a great choice for anyone looking at a durable and easy to care for carbon steel knife.

Beauty

The White #1 is a classy looking knife with a good level of finish and looks with the tsuchime stainless cladding running down to the polished core steel. 

We have had this range paired with a quality cherry wood handle that's finished to a higher level than typical for knives at this price point which adds to the quality looks and feel of the knife.

In Hand


Comfortable in hand thanks to the quality finish on the handle and while the spine and heel of the knives in the range aren't rounded or smoothed off it's not an unusual compromise to expect when looking at such well priced knives. 

Ease of Care & Maintenance Tips


We recommend following our carbon steel care tips and for long term care, our carbon steel care kit has everything you need to keep your knife in top condition. 

Our Verdict

Great overall value across the range and a good finish and edge quality out of the box but with potential to thin a little further should you wish. 

Ideal as a first forray into carbon steel and will develop a lovely patina along the core while being protected by the stainless cladding they're ideal as a first knife choice or competitively priced addition to an existing collection.
