Please Note: These pictures and measurements are examples. Individual knives may differ slightly in appearance and measurements. The multicolor lacquer finish found on this knife is meant purely for the protection of the blade during shipping and handling, and will need to be removed before use.
Care Advisements: This blade is fully carbon and care must be taken to avoid rust. Wipe dry after each use and ideally between preparing different products, especially when using acidic and salty products. A patina will form over time helping increase stain resistance slightly.

"Tenugui" is translated as a traditional Japanese towel. Because tengui are long and thin they make amazing, fast drying kitchen towels but they can be used in many other ways as well — for gift wrapping, as a scarf or handkerchief, or even a decoration for your home.
The fabric for these Tengui are hand-dyed in Sakai city by artisan Yoshikazu Nishikawa. Mr. Nishikawa is the fourth generation of the Yoshikazu factory. He uses a traditional technique to bleach the fabric and remove impurities before dying called "sarashi" and then uses a trandional dying technique called "chu-sen." Nishikawa's factory is the only one in Japan that still uses both traditional techniques.
These Tengui were designed by artist Aoi Huber, who breathes new colors into the traditional Japanese craft.
Mr. Nishikawa described the process of dying Aoi Huber's design on the Tengui: "It is a new and difficult design for tenugui that is hand-dyed, not printed. It was difficult to avoid the mingling of each color. Some colors might seem similar, but each differs, so it took a lot of time to create the dyes to express the subtle differences. In spite of the difficulty, I am satisfied with the finished look that is worth a lot of time and effort."
Huber Aoi’s Tenugui are a part of HADO's "Work from Hands" Project. Learn more about the artists and craftspeople behind these Tengui here.
