Today, it is considered the oldest manufacturer of Western-style knives in Japan. 50 cutlery experts design 150,000 knives every year.
In fact, every knife is 100% made by Misono, whereas most companies of this size outsource the production of certain parts. Inspired by the techniques of Japanese master blacksmiths, Misono has won over Michelin-starred chefs in gourmet restaurants in many countries around the world.
This chef's knife is part of the UX10 range. It features a 27cm blade made of Swedish stainless steel. This alloy makes the blade highly resistant to corrosion, ideal for use in the humid environment of a kitchen.
The surface of the blade is dimpled to prevent food sticking to the blade when cutting. This non-stick capability makes the knife highly appreciated by professionals.
The blade has a hardness of 59/60 HRC, a good rating for easy sharpening that lasts a long time. If necessary, you can sharpen the edge with a Sharpening stone.
The cutting edge of UX10 knives is the most durable of all the brand's knives. Its particularity lies in the shape of its angle, which is asymmetrical without being one-sided. In this way, the blade gently cuts into the flesh without damaging its appearance.
The brand and range logos are subtly embossed on the blade.
The handle is designed to facilitate the daily work of chefs in the kitchen. It is made of Pakkawood, a composite material that is a blend of resin and wood. It is both light and resistant to humidity. It is also an antibacterial material, perfect for keeping the kitchen hygienic.
The small hollow at the base makes the knife easy to handle.
The bolster and 3 rivets on the handle are made of nickel silver. This alloy of copper, nickel and zinc is renowned for its hardness and resistance to corrosion. Its appearance is indistinguishable from the stainless steel of the blade, ensuring visual continuity. The 3 rivets hold the full tang blade in place, while the weight of the bolster brings balance to the whole knife, making it easy to hold.
How to care for the knife :
Although perfectly suited to professional use, hand cleaning is recommended, using a soft sponge and non-abrasive dishwashing liquid. Then wipe dry with a soft cloth and store in a dry place, to ensure that its original appearance is maintained over the long term.
Opt for this exceptional knife with its long-lasting, efficient cutting edge, incredibly resistant to corrosion and shock.
