Cook like a Japanese chef with this santoku knife from the Bamboo Kyoto range!
The blade of this Bamboo Kyotosantoku knife measures 17.5cm, a blade common in Japan but less so on the European continent. But it has the same functions as a chef's knife! Opt for the quality of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with this Tamahagane Bamboo Kyoto santoku knife ! Did you know that tamahagane is a steel used in the manufacture of Japanese swords? This gives us a clue to the sharpness of Tamahagane brand knives.
Tamahagane uses a specific steel. This is VG5 steel : it was chosen over other steels for its attractive properties, which strongly resemble those of VG10. VG5 is, however, slightly more resistant to corrosion and contains less cobalt. The carbon content is around 0.7% / 0.8%, making it all the more robust. This core of hard, solid VG5 steel is enveloped by a more flexible steel that provides the suppleness essential to the blade's balance. This steel forms 63 damascus layers, giving the knife a typically Japanese style with interlaced patterns. Your cuts will be clean, fast and pleasant, and all without exerting any effort on the blade! Fruit, vegetables and meat are sliced without damage.
An HRC hardness of 59 on the Rockwell scale is the result of various manufacturing processes. This hardness is a guarantee of high quality: the blade will keep its edge longer, making the need for sharpening much less frequent than on a conventional knife.
The knife's stainless steel handle is easy to maintain, as it does not absorb bacteria and resists corrosion. A quick wipe down with a sponge is all that's required. The design is reminiscent of the knife's Japanese origins: shaped along the lines of a bamboo stalk, it is aesthetically pleasing and pleasant to hold.
Display this beautiful knife on a magnet bar or magnetic block, and it's sure to be a decorative eye-catcher! This santoku knife has all the qualities a cook could hope for, and will quickly earn its place in your professional or personal kitchen. Whether you're a professional chef or a demanding beginner, Tamahagane Bamboo Kyoto knives are made for you.
