Description

This elegant Tamahagane chef knife is part of the Kyoto series.

Tamahagane is the name of a traditional steel used in the manufacture of Japanese swords. It's easy to deduce that these knives have a cutting quality similar to that of a Samurai sword!

The excellent sharpness of this knife is due to the type of steel used in the composition of the blade. This 21cm blade features a 3-layer VG5 steel core. For connoisseurs of Japanese knives, this steel has the same qualities as VG10, but contains slightly less cobalt. However, VG5 is more resistant to corrosion, an advantage for all cooks. Cutting quality is identical to that of VG10, i.e. excellent! Everyone dreams of slicing their food effortlessly, and it's perfectly possible with this type of extremely hard, robust steel.

This core is covered with 63-layerSUS410 steel , softer and even more resistant to corrosion. These outer layers create the damascus pattern typical of Japanese knives. These damask patterns make these knives true masterpieces.

The blade of this knife achieves an HRC hardness of 59 on the Rockwell scale. This means you can sharpen your knives less evenly than conventional knives, and their durability is increased.

The handle of this knife is made of micarta, a mixture of paper and resin. This material is very strong: it is water-resistant and can withstand temperature variations. It is also highly hygienic, as it is anti-bacterial, a considerable asset in the catering trade. Its dark, lightly veined color adds a touch of originality in perfect contrast to the damascus of the blade.

This knife was designed for foodservice professionals looking for exceptional cutting quality. Its powerful cutting edge makes it pleasant to hold, and much less tiring when used intensively. Fans of Japanese knives will also be seduced by the refined look.

Finally, this knife comes in an attractive black presentation box, ideal as a gift for a loved one (or for yourself)!

A very fine knife, with a fearsome cutting edge, it's so important to know how to use it, not to be put in every hand if you want to keep them intact.
