The Kutoyama Red Flame range has been designed to offer knives that are simple, versatile and pleasant to use on a daily basis, while asserting a strong visual identity. It is aimed at cooks looking for efficient tools for everyday preparations, without excessive maintenance constraints, with a distinctive design. Made in China, the knives in this range are delivered in a box, making them an interesting option for a useful, long-lasting gift.
The range's philosophy is based on ease of use, tolerance of wear and tear, and distinctive aesthetics, with technical choices suited to everyday cooking.
A versatile stainless steel blade with damask printing
Kutoyama Red Flame knives feature blades in 4Cr13MoV stainless steel, an alloy enriched with vanadium and molybdenum. This type of steel is appreciated for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to withstand the stresses of daily use. With a hardness of around 56 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade retains a certain suppleness, making it more tolerant to shocks and accidental contact with harder areas.
This moderate hardness also facilitates maintenance of the cutting edge. The edge can be revived simply by using a sharpening gun, which is ideal for users wishing to maintain an efficient blade without resorting to complex sharpening methods.
The surface of the blade features a damascus pattern, combined with a mirror-effect polished finish. This treatment provides an elegant visual effect while facilitating cleaning after use. This makes the blade suitable for a wide variety of cuts, such as chopping herbs, mincing vegetables, slicing small pieces of meat or peeling fruit and vegetables.
A resin handle with a flame design
The handles of Kutoyama Red Flame knives are made of resin, a durable and resistant material well-suited to use in the kitchen. Its reddish-brown hue features nuances reminiscent of flames, giving each knife a distinctive and original visual identity.
The bolster and base are made of stainless steel, ensuring a solid connection with the blade and contributing to the knife's overall balance. The handle as a whole is designed to offer good stability and a robust feel when held.
The oval shape of the handle adapts naturally to the hand. This geometry suits both right- and left-handed users and ensures a comfortable grip, even during long kitchen preparation sessions.
An affordable range for everyday cooking
The Kutoyama Red Flame range is the right choice for those seeking versatile knives that are easy to use and maintain. The combination of a moderately hard 4Cr13MoV stainless steel blade and a sturdy resin handle means you can cook with peace of mind, without any particular constraints. It's an ideal range for everyday use, whether you're looking to equip yourself or to offer a functional knife with a distinctive design.
To preserve the knife's qualities, we recommend washing it exclusively by hand, drying it immediately after use and storing it in a dry place. Dishwashing and prolonged soaking in the sink should be avoided to preserve the blade and handle over time.
