Shimomura TU-9000 Japanese knives

ZOOM ON THE SHIMOMURA TU-9000 KNIFE BLADE

The blade of Shimomura TU-9000 knives is made of stainless steel enriched with molybdenum and vanadium. On the one hand, molybdenum promotes strength and corrosion resistance. On the other hand, vanadium also enhances the blade's strength and impact resistance! This steel reaches an HRC hardness of 56/58 on the Rockwell scale, giving it good edge retention. It is also a steel that remains easy to sharpen when necessary. In fact, the blade has been hand-sharpened with a Sharpening stone by a qualified craftsman to guarantee optimum first use. Unlike Shimomura Un-Ryu knives, which have a damascus blade, these knives have a fairly simple blade that is no less effective! A discreet marking is affixed to the blade for even greater authenticity.

AN ELEGANT BLACK HANDLE

Made from laminated wood, the handle of Shimomura TU-9000 Japanese knives is perfectly ergonomic thanks to its shape and lightness. In fact, it ensures comfort of use thanks to its optimal grip. It is also suitable for ambidextrous use: perfect for all cooks! The handle's sober, all-purpose black color matches all styles of kitchen, whether professional or domestic. The handle is complemented by 3 rivets that join the laminated wood handle to the steel blade. A stainless-steel bolster also plays a consolidating role, bringing balance to the knife and a final finish to the piece. These Japanese kitchen knives offer excellent value for money: they're visually beautiful yet perfectly effective! They're all you need in your knifeBag!
