Description

Japan Kanetsune knives are designed in Seki, Japan, an area renowned worldwide for its expertise in cutlery. The know-how accumulated by the manufacturer over the years has resulted in knives that are high-performance, ergonomic and pleasing to the eye, with the right Japanese touch! The materials used are of the highest quality, reflecting the creative processes employed in the development of each range.

This santoku knife features a 16.5cm blade, designed using the San Mai process, a simplified 3-layer damascus.

The core is made of VG10 steel, a top-of-the-range steel much appreciated in cutlery for its high carbon content of 1% (when the average is between 0.5 and 0.8%). Carbon has a direct impact on the alloy's hardness. Here, the knife achieves a strength of 60 HRC, which means it holds its edge for a long time, and has excellent cutting capabilities. In fact, because the knife's edge is harder, it can withstand a sharper edge over the long term. Your knife cuts various types of food (vegetables, meats or fresh herbs...) without damaging the fibers.

The top layer is made of 410 stainless steel, to protect the more corrosion-sensitive VG10. The waves of this simple damascus pattern are visible at the bottom of the cutting surface, for an unprecedented effect.

The stainless steel bolster links the blade to the handle. The handle is made of polywood, a composite material combining wood and resin. The whole is resistant to temperature variations and humidity. Its straight shape, with a slightly larger base, enhances balance and ensures a comfortable grip for controlled cutting. 3 rivets complete the design to secure the full tang blade inside.

The combination of its materials and its uncluttered, unadorned shape....This knife has a style that perfectly blends Japan and the West. It is suitable for all cooks, professional or otherwise, and is a pleasure to use whatever your level in the kitchen.

To wash, first wash by hand, then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Store in a dry place (drawer, block, Bag...).

When East meets West
language rating 10
This knife is superb for everyday use, and its construction brings it closer to a classic European knife with those 3 rivets but this Blade. The stainless steel makes it really ready for everyday use, while retaining a noticeable edge retention (it still cuts like it did on day one). The knife is aesthetically superb, between the wavy edge line, the engraving, the straight polishing marks on the blade and the handle that reveals nuances of tone in its color. All without breaking the symbolic 100€ barrier, a knife that deserves to be known.

Very nice quality

As indicated in the description, this is a very good-looking European-style Japanese knife, especially considering the price, which was one of the parameters of my choice! No frills for the packaging, and so much the better! But the most important thing is the knife and its sharpness and perfect grip, not to mention the aesthetics of the blade... Thanks to Couteaux Chef for the speed of delivery, especially during the holiday season!
Very good value for money.

A lover of Japanese knives, I wanted to make a nice gift for a nephew, so he could start outfitting himself with kitchen utensils. He was impressed by my knives and showed great interest. So I ordered this model and am really pleased with the quality/finish/price combination. Beautiful blade with a handle compatible with frequent use in the kitchen. Will stand up to young adult use.
