A Universal knife with an efficient cutting edge

The blade of this Japanese knife is made fromACUTO440 stainless steel, offering high corrosion resistance and outstanding durability. This alloy is frequently used in the production of Glestain knives, and is composed of carbon, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium.

Carbon is the key element and plays an essential role in increasing the blade's hardness, thus promoting a high-performance cutting edge. With a hardness of around 59HRC on the Rockwell scale, this blade ensures excellent edge retention, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance.

Molybdenum and vanadium are also crucial components contributing to the alloy's hardness. Vanadium not only increases the alloy's elasticity, but also enhances its impact resistance. As for molybdenum and chromium, they increase corrosion resistance, for a longer-lasting blade.

The steel used in this Glestain knife is tough, durable and high-performance. What's more, it's easy to maintain with a Sharpening stone, ensuring consistent performance.

To guarantee exceptional sharpness, this Japanese knife has undergone Sub Zero tempering. This technique consists of cooling the blade to extremely low temperatures after the heating phase, reinforcing the alloy's rigidity and creating a fine, uniform structure. This procedure reduces the risk of blade breakage during use. Glestain applies this tempering process in 7 steps, requiring precision and time.

The blade's convex cutting edge also contributes to its high efficiency! Thanks to this shape, the blade penetrates food more easily, ensuring clean, precise cuts.

Last but not least, the blade of this Japanese knife is equipped with several cells, preventing food from sticking to the sides when cutting!

A Japanese knife with an ergonomic handle

The handle of this Japanese knife is made of solid, durable stainless steel, bringing not only an original design to your Japanese kitchen knife, but also optimum sturdiness. Featuring a stainless steel bolster, it balances your knife, ensuring an ideal grip!

Its Western shape makes it adaptable to a wide range of cooks! As a result, your Glestain knife offers an ergonomic grip and perfectly controlled handling, particularly suited to prolonged use in the kitchen.

To care for your Japanese Universal knife, wash by hand with a non-abrasive sponge. After cleaning, wipe immediately with a clean cloth before storing in a dry place. Do not place in the dishwasher, nor soak in the sink.

The Glestain brand: quality Japanese knives

In 1971, highly qualified engineer Akira Honma created the Glestain brand of knives with the aim of fusing science and cutting-edge technology to achieve optimum performance. From the outset, Glestain adopted a direct approach, targeting restaurants and chefs to raise brand awareness. This strategy gathers valuable feedback from kitchen professionals, contributing to the constant improvement of Glestain knives.

Mr. Honma personally passes on his manufacturing techniques and innovations to carefully selected craftsmen, reinforcing the reputation of Glestain knives among kitchen professionals.
