Misono SW Japanese chef's knife

Misono is reputed to be the oldest manufacturer of Western-style knives in Japan. With a team of around fifty experts, they produce around 150,000 knives a year. What sets Misono apart is their commitment to fully manufacturing their knives, from blade to handle design.

Founded in 1935, the company uses traditional Japanese blacksmithing techniques, with several stages of manufacture carried out by hand to guarantee exceptional quality. Initially, Misono specialized in blades for kitchen peelers. In the 60s, this family-run business diversified its production to include Japanese kitchen knives. Today, Misono knives are appreciated the world over and used by many chefs!

An efficient knife with a carbon blade

The chef's knife is a must-have in the kitchen! Highly versatile, it can be used to make a wide range of cuts: slicing vegetables, chopping meat or chopping herbs with ease. Just be careful not to use it on hard foods such as bones or squash.

The blade of your Japanese chef's knife is made of high-quality Swedish steel, enriched with carbon for optimum performance. With a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale, it ensures excellent edge retention and efficient cutting on your food!

This durable edge is easy to maintain with a sharpening stone when necessary.

The blade is asymmetrically angled for better food penetration, guaranteeing precise, clean cuts.

Polished for a touch of elegance, the blade also features the Misono brand logo, adding further authenticity. To suit your needs, the blade is available in several sizes: 18cm, 21cm, 24cm, 27cm or 30cm.

A durable, comfortable handle

This Japanese kitchen knife features a black pakkawood handle, a strong, durable composite material. Composed of hot-compressed laminated wood and resin, it combines the advantages of composite with the natural aesthetics of wood thanks to its visible grain. What's more, this handle is antibacterial and moisture-resistant.

Designed in a Western style, this handle is ergonomic and fits all hands, offering a comfortable and secure grip, even for prolonged use in the kitchen.

To guarantee its sturdiness, this Misono knife is fitted with rivets that securely attach the handle to the full tang blade. A bolster harmoniously links the handle to the blade, ensuring optimal balance.

To care for your carbon knife, wash only by hand with a sponge and mild detergent. After cleaning, dry immediately with a clean cloth to remove all traces of moisture and store in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or soak in the sink.

Over time, the color of the blade may vary slightly, which is normal! This is due to the natural reaction of carbon to the acidity of food and humidity in the air. This in no way affects the performance of your gyuto knife.
