A Japanese chef' s knife with a remarkable cutting edge
The 21 cm Masakage Mizu chef's knife is a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship, hand-forged by Takumi Ikeda at Takefu Knife Village. This versatile gyuto knife embodies all the finesse of Japanese craftsmanship! It features high-quality materials, traditional aesthetics and excellent cutting precision!
The handcrafted Japanese knife with Aogami #2 steel blade
The 21 cm blade features a San Maï structure (a rigid steel core surrounded by 2 layers of softer iron), with a core of Aogami #2 steel, renowned for its ability to maintain a sharp edge over a long period of time. With its high carbon content of 1.2%, it guarantees a hardness of 62HRC on the Rockwell scale, for precise, efficient cutting over time. The rough forged finish gives it an authentic look, and its blue reflections echo the name of the Masakage Mizu range, which means "water".
Cherry wood handle: comfort and elegance for this handcrafted knife
The handle of this Japanese kitchen knife is made from cherry wood, offering a comfortable, natural grip. The gray resin bolster adds a touch of elegance and ensures a smooth transition between blade and handle. The practical oval shape of the handle is suitable for both right- and left-handed users!
