Made in China, this knife benefits from controlled industrial production and comes in a box, ensuring protection during storage or transport. It also makes a practical and functional gift idea.
A versatile stainless steel blade with damascus printing
The blade of the Kutoyama Red Flame utility knife is made of 4Cr13MoV stainless steel, an alloy enriched with vanadium and molybdenum. This steel is prized 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 flexibility, making it more tolerant to shocks and accidental contact with harder areas.
This moderate hardness also facilitates maintenance of the cutting edge. The cutting edge can be maintained simply by using a rifle, to maintain an efficient cut without resorting to complex sharpening methods.
The surface of the blade has a damascened look, combined with a mirror-effect polished finish. This treatment provides a neat visual appearance while facilitating cleaning after use, making the blade a pleasure to use every day.
Resin handle with flame design
The handle of the Kutoyama Red Flame utility knife is 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 the 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 entire handle is designed to offer a feeling of robustness and continuity when held.
The oval shape of the handle adapts naturally to the hand. This geometry suits both right- and left-handed cooks and ensures a comfortable grip, even during long kitchen preparation sessions.
A compact format for all common preparations
The Kutoyama Red Flame 12 cm utility knife is an excellent choice for those looking for a versatile knife that's simple to use and easy to maintain. Its 4Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, combined with moderate hardness, enables it to perform everyday cuts efficiently, while its resin handle ensures comfort and stability. This is a model perfectly suited to everyday use, whether as a gift or for yourself.
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.
