The Kanetsugu Nami steak knife set is the perfect way to create a refined and refined table setting!
This superb set contains 4 knives that will enable you to cut your meats impeccably. The blades are made of damascus steel, a blend of VG2 and VG10.
What is a damascus blade? It's a blade with a core of harder steel, then surrounded by softer steel to balance the central hardness. As a result, the blade has a rigid cutting edge, but is still more resistant to blows because the softer steel gives the whole "flexibility".
In our case, VG10 forms the core of each knife, then alternating layers of VG10 and VG2 interweave to form the damascus. In addition to the technical capabilities mentioned above, damascus has the advantage of giving your knives a definite character. Each pattern is unique. In fact, it's from this part of the knife that the model takes its name, Nami meaning "wave" in Japanese.
Each blade is also finely engraved with the brand's kanji, for even greater authenticity.
The handles are made of laminated wood, a material that is heat-compressed to increase rigidity and durability. Each one also features a different color.
Here are the 4 themes encountered:
- Zebrano: the color is ash-brown, a timeless effect guaranteed.
- Walnut: a warmer shade of brown
- Mahogany: the color is orange and contrasts nicely with the black welts
- Wine: a beautiful dark red brings warmth to the neck
The blade is linked to the handle by an attractive engraved steel bolster. The whole is very light and pleasant in the hand. The shape is designed to fit perfectly in your palm, whether you're left- or right-handed.
The whole thing comes in an attractive light Paulownia wood box. The latter is also decorated, giving it a very Japanese feel. The box can be used as a gift, or as a storage box if you're treating yourself.
To care for your knives, wash them in lukewarm water with a sponge and a mild cleanser. Then dry them immediately before storing them in their box. Don't soak them in the sink or put them through the dishwasher, as this could alter their original appearance.
Don't hesitate to dress up your table in the most beautiful way with this refined gift set, and come and discover Kanetsugu Japanese kitchen knives too!
