The Kutoyama Blue Wave range has been designed to offer versatile, easy-to-use kitchen knives with a strong visual identity. It is aimed at cooks looking for efficient tools for everyday cutting, with easy-to-maintain materials and a distinctive design. Made in China, the knives in this range are delivered in a box, ensuring optimum protection and making them an interesting option for a gift.
This range emphasizes versatility, ease of use and wear tolerance, while offering an original aesthetic inspired by flowing, contrasting patterns.
A versatile stainless steel blade with damask printing
Kutoyama Blue Wave knives feature blades in 4Cr13MoV stainless steel, an alloy enriched with molybdenum and vanadium. This type of steel is appreciated for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to withstand the stresses of regular use in the kitchen. 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 edge can be revived simply with a rifle, which is ideal for users wishing to maintain an efficient blade without complex sharpening procedures.
The surface of the blade features a damascened look, combined with a mirror-effect polished finish. This treatment provides a neat visual appearance while facilitating cleaning after use. This makes the blade suitable for a wide variety of cuts, such as mincing meat, chopping herbs or mincing vegetables, but avoiding foods that are too hard to preserve the cutting edge.
A blue resin handle with a wavy design
The handles of Kutoyama Blue Wave knives are made from resin, a durable and resistant material particularly suited to use in the kitchen. Its blue hue is criss-crossed with shades and patterns reminiscent of waves, giving each knife a unique and expressive 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 offers a comfortable grip, even during long kitchen preparation sessions.
An affordable range for everyday cooking
The Kutoyama Blue Wave range is the right choice for those seeking versatile knives that are simple to use and easy to maintain. The combination of a moderately hard 4Cr13MoV stainless steel blade and an ergonomic resin handle makes for serene everyday cooking, with a distinctive design. It's the ideal range to equip yourself efficiently or to offer a functional and aesthetic knife.
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.
