Glestain Home Series 21cm Japanese Chef's knife with honeycomb design

The perfect Japanese kitchen knife for connoisseurs

The handle of your Japanese knife is made of stainless steel, ensuring optimum strength and durability. Its original design adds character to your kitchen knife! It also features a stainless steel bolster that not only enhances balance, but also gives you an ideal grip.

With its Western shape, this Japanese kitchen knife fits the hands of all cooks. It offers an ergonomic grip, ensuring perfectly mastered control, particularly appreciable during prolonged use!

The blade of this Japanese chef's knife is made of ACUTO440 stainless steel, a robust alloy renowned for its resistance to oxidation, frequently used in the manufacture of Glestain knives. Composed of carbon, chromium, vanadium and molybdenum, this alloy offers remarkable properties!

Carbon, an essential element, helps to increase the blade's hardness, providing an efficient, long-lasting cutting edge. With a hardness of 59HRC on the Rockwell scale, this blade guarantees excellent edge retention and optimum cutting performance.

Vanadium and molybdenum also contribute to the steel's hardness. Vanadium gives the blade extra elasticity, reinforcing its resistance to micro-shocks. Molybdenum and chromium contribute to corrosion resistance for enhanced durability.

This quality steel ensures high performance, durability and optimum strength! What's more, its cutting edge is easy to maintain with a sharpening stone when required.

To optimize its effectiveness, this Japanese knife has been subjected to Sub Zero tempering, a technique that involves cooling the blade to very low temperatures immediately after the heating phase. This process is designed to give the blade increased rigidity and create a fine, homogeneous structure. Glestain applies this method in 7 distinct steps, requiring both time and great precision.

The cutting edge is accentuated by its convex shape, allowing the blade to penetrate food with ease, ensuring clean, precise cuts.

Last but not least, the blade featuresair bubbles that prevent food from sticking to the surface of the knife during cutting.

To care for your gyuto knife, wash it exclusively by hand with a soft sponge. Once cleaned, dry immediately to remove all traces of moisture and store in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or leave to soak in the sink.
